Introduction

Beginnings are hard.

Wew! Glad I got that out of the way, now I can explain what this blog is actually about. This is a (or will be) collection of thoughts I have the nerve to think are worth recording, that will expand upon in formats that may or may not resemble an essay or article. It is not a chronicle of events in my life, though I may or may not make a separate blog for that. The aim of this undertaking is simply to get people thinking, to spread and discuss things work talking about, and I don’t think hearing my ideas necessitates knowing my life story. That said it is still a good idea to tell you something about me because we are all shaped by our experiences, and no one is completely unbiased.

　

I am a teenager, and I have an ego even larger than average for my age. Even larger than my age for a gifted child (My IQ was scored at 133, Gifted but not genius intelligence, however IQ tests are shown to give lower than correct scores to children with Asperger's syndrome like me(Here are some links on that)). I try not to waste my time quite as much as most people in my generation, and I am engaged in many creative pursuits (Dlef, National Geopatrick, and Crypton for instance). I am a deep thinker, which is why I made this page. My friends have suggested I write a book on my thoughts, but I am neither focused or skilled enough for that at this time, so I’m starting with a blog.

This one.

That you are reading.

Right now.

With that information in mind you may or may not have a good idea of why I called my blog “Dare I say Wisdom?”. Fools tend to think their selves wise, teenagers tend to be fools, and humility is supposed to be a mark of wisdom. Yet, I can’t help but look back on struggles to succeed with a (albeit moderate) learning “disability” and social rejection by peers from a young age, and think “you know, there just might be something to my philosophy” and people older and wiser than me in many other ways seem to (partially) agree. On top of this I seem to be very capable of recognizing my own flaws and addressing them, which should hopefully stop me from making great bounds of hubris. So, I hesitate to call my thoughts wise, but still have the confidence to put them out there.

　

Which brings us to a request from me to the reader.

Please, if you see something you disagree with, or even just at all question, leave a comment about it. Let your opinion be heard. I want this to be a place where people can discus the various topics I address openly, without things getting nasty, this improves the minds of everyone participating and hopefully brings us closer to the truth (or at least a good story!).

As for the specific topics, they will range from politics to culture to philosophy to psychology to everyday life to what may or may not be called spirituality (I will explain that in a coming post) and the grey area in between. I may venture out side this realm a little, but don’t expect this to turn into a food blog or anything. The general rule is that the topics are things were one could call an idea about them wise, rather than a scientific discovery, technological invention, or a creative work. This will most definitely not include a recipe for butternut squash soup.

Probably.

Whatever, format conveys the idea I wish to express will be the one I use, so don’t expect a set, conventional format. At the same time don’t be surprised if you see an actual essay. I wish this paragraph could have been longer but I really don’t have anything else to say about that subject.

So…

All in all this blog is just food for thought and if it’s not the most deep, interesting, or wise thing ever,

There are much worse ways to spend your time on the internet.

I found out the hard way.
