We have no political agenda or affiliation to any political party; our religious affiliation: yes, no, maybe, sometimes, and depends. We try our hardest to look at everything as balanced and fair as possible. Ultimately we have one concern - the ubiquity of hubris in all of its meanings.
We know that world peace - real world peace - is impossible: history alone demonstrates this point. However, peace in general, can be achieved bit by bit, one brick at a time, and in many areas simultaneously.
We know that one can be pro-troops, anti-war, and still be patriotic.
We also recognize that things do not come in shades of either black or white: issues, relations, people are complex, thus is is almost hubristic of us to slap an “anti” in front of “hubris” (though it appears that Aristotle didn’t even do that - at least as far as we have read).
To try and keep ourselves in check, we attempt to add a little melange of irreverence here and there - if we can’t laugh at ourselves or about a serious issue in some fashion, then we’re probably taking ourselves or some issue too seriously.
We’ll probably be adding more here, but alas, so much moves so quick. As Heraclitus said, ‘all is flux,’ which is particularly true with the environment where your reading this.
So enough about us and time for some public thanks: first to Kory Goold, who’s crash course in xhtml, css, xml, etc., made this project possible & thanks to his own project that is just getting up and going at swentzell.org - Ralph Swentzell was as Kory says “more Socratic than Socrates, more Confucius than Confucius, and more humane and humble than anyone else.” Ralph Swentzell is one of our greatest inspirations for anything, ever, period. A public thanks is also due to the community of Realmac Software, which without either Kory or Rapidweaver, almost none of this site would be here. A thanks should also go out to The ’Lectric Law Library for 1. the Honorable Ralf R. Rinkle, Esq. being so cool and 2. being the proximate cause of Kory learning so much so quickly.
Enjoy!
