Cornellius Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Not that I can't ever be more philosophical than I am. I recently wrote a post on the message board named 2014 Resolutions, which was uploaded at 23:59 on December 31st. http://breakingfreeftd.blogspot.ca/2013/12/2014-resolutions.html I don't want to project my behavior onto others, but I will say now that I did not expect the dangers of being a propagandist without my knowledge was so tangible, and lack of rigor in honest, concise, bland and transparent communication of ideas is something that virtually everyone risks indulging in. I've written a lot of articles on my blog similar to the post I put out on new year's eve that is not philophical in nature, but rethorical. Rhetoric. That fabulous talent of projecting an image of advancement and productivity by putting thoughts together in a way that feels right. Stringing thoughts together in a way that is appealing: the unconscious unchecked. Some people look back at what they did last night when they were drunk and condone it, so they get drunk again. I'm one of those who look back at those actions and are horrified by all the stuff that was made up for the sake of feeling better about oneself, and that's why I was quick to remove the post and talk about the dangers of rhetoric... how it can be persuasive for the writer themselves. In the end, why speak rhetorically? Maybe it's because of how painful ignorance can be. As for resolutions, I guess a better one would be to submit all behavior of mine to conscious methodic examining.
