Question The World, Answer Your Questions

I love observation. On this blog, you’ll find me asking a lot of questions – questions about culture, about government, about science and nature, even questions about Lady Gaga. But these questions aren’t going to sit up on this page for you to read, and then say, “Oh yeah, I wonder those same things too, totally.” No, these questions are simply a catalyst for research.

Independent research – it sounds so official, so post-graduate-look-at-me-I’m-getting-my-PHD-so-I-need-to-write-a-long-winded-426-page-thesis-paper (no offense to post grads who wrote a 426 page thesis paper).  I’d like to challenge the notion that that is the only time to do worthwhile research.  In fact, I highly encourage anyone reading this (all four of you so far) to continually integrate independent research into your everyday lives. FACT CHECK. Look it up. Make your life into a haven of discovery each and every day, and fill your “knowledge” with veritable material.

The question asked in my last post was “Is there irony in this picture?” I could have left it at that, but that wouldn’t have been enough for me, nor would it have been very interesting or informative. The answer was YES, as I previously explained. The topics on this blog may range from personal life to politics to planetary overpopulation, but the purpose will remain the same.

So here is my official mission statement. This room of mine won’t be a digital front for my everyday activities, nor will it be a summary of current events. Instead, I intend for this blog to be a consistent, (hopefully) enlightening, and heavily researched analysis of the world around us.

I hope some of you do ask the same questions I do. I hope some of my questions are original and downright weird. But whatever the question, you can expect an answer accompanying it.

Question the world. Answer your questions. And stay truthy, my friends.

This man is truthy

PS - A list of truthy websites:

www.wikipedia.org (always check footnotes)
fancy college sites with ".edu"
not chain letters
