Hi, everyone. I’m Alex Young and with this venue I intend to discuss a myriad of topics, including:
• Politics
• Discoveries in Social and Physical Sciences
• My perspective on various Philosophies
• Current Events around the globe
• Et Cetera
Granted, this seems quite like a scattered grocery list of items! The thread that will tie all these themes together will primarily be how my journey in life is affected by all this. Secondarily, one may find this blog to be of use to oneself. Perhaps when someone reads a particular post, whether it be immediately after I’ve written it or years afterward, it may prepare that person (mentally, emotionally, physically or intellectually) to have the wherewithal to handle a particular hardship.
Mind you, I’m not presuming to be a guru and I most certainly do not hold all the answers to any one subject. Furthermore, I’m definitely not promising that a single individual will benefit, to any degree, from reading the words that I write. Rather, all I want is to offer an opportunity. How that opportunity is interpreted and applied is purely and entirely up to whomever decides to take away from this blog whatever they believe is worthwhile.
I should make a note of how I speak and write; that is, how I communicate my beliefs and thoughts to others. I am very direct and I’ve got little to no filter when it comes to a great number of topics and issues. I’m also very assertive and, perhaps, overly confident (but certainly not intentionally arrogant) when it comes to discussing matters about which I’m very well versed. In other words, you’ll likely never find me talking about engine repair, as I know nothing of it! On the other hand, I can quite easily and adeptly go on and on about the American government, certain European and Asian governments, et cetera.
A few things about me:
- I love being proven wrong! That is merely an opportunity to learn. Though I should point out that I said that I love to be proven wrong. If you’re prepared to demonstrate how I’m wrong, and you’re equipped with more accurate information, by all means, lead me in the right direction.
- My favorite thing to say is: I don’t know. Again, this affords me another chance to gain more knowledge about the world around me.
- My favorite thing that others say is: I don’t know. I find it quite silly that someone would rather give an irrational or otherwise thoughtless answer to a question instead of simply admitting the truth. Now, after one admits the truth, I find it perfectly acceptable to conject or hypothesize different solutions, as I do just that all the time. (Not to say that what I do is acceptable simply because I do it! Rather, I find that (at least some of) the things I do are borne of reason.)
With that, I’ll end this first post. After all, I’m afraid if I carry on any longer it may become a rant. In plus, we’ll all get to know one another much more closely and clearly over time. As for now, I sincerely thank you for taking your time to check out my side of the interwebs.
Until next time,
Alex Young
