Thesis

This is a place for philosophy; for social criticisms; for theories; in short, a place for ideas.

As for me, I know what I consider myself to be. I think of myself as intelligent and as eloquent in writing. I might be wrong, I’m open to the idea.

What I put down here are not absolutes. These are my ideas, and I encourage you to take them as you would. Accept them or reject them, but think of them, at the very least.

This is not the news. This is not editorial. This is, quite simply, a collection of thoughts and seeds for discussion. It’s not about me, but I’m not going to filter myself out: like everyone, I come as a package deal with biases and neuroses, and I’m not going to pretend to be objective.

The title is a double reference. Heideggar wrote Being and Time, a cornerstone of Heuristic Phenomenology. Later, Jean-Paul Sartre wrote Being and Nothingness, a cornerstone of Existential Phenomenology.

This is Being and Context. I’m fascinated by how things are interconnected--how the world is discontinuous but not discrete. This is most likely a product of my education, and will be reflected in what follows.
