Short Update

Life has been awash in flux as of late. No, that wasn't a snarky reference to soldering.

I will resume my research in the coming months.

My gut instinct is to pull what I can use from existentialism and focus on fashioning a decidedly humanist philosophy. Much of my existentialist research has seemed fairly esoteric in its language. The subject matter seems to consistently disappoint as periphery skirting around what I see as the metaphysical crux of the subject: a rejection of current systems as the sole arbiters of truth and experience, the value of self-definition, and making every part of life, every accepted belief a conscious choice. Borrowing from Robert Pirsig, my existentialism requires that I move through life with open eyes, pursuing Quality, kicking the tires, challenging even my basest assumptions. Only then will I be living my life and not someone else's conception of it.
