What is this thing?
This blog is a collection of comments, reviews and rants on current events, reports, and miscellaneous writings. It's purpose is not to clarify but to question. As such, you will not find in-depth analyses here. Rather, I hope to point out interesting new ideas, blatant or hidden irrationalities, inconsistencies, hypocrisies, and perhaps some new uses for old words.
