My Manifesto
If anyone is looking for some context for my worldview, you might find this link interesting. Here, offered in very human and simple form, is my raving maniacal manifesto.
Addison Road: Why I Believe What I Believe I may get around later to the project of laying out the philosophical rational groundwork for these things, but the truth is that those came later ... it was the human story that first made sense. -ml

What was your motivation to write this?
And who votes we have the word "manifesto" stricken from modern vocabulary? |

I do. What is this? Are you Michael? I don't understand these types of self-indulgent self-claimed 'philosophical' blogs, load of trite. For real insight try this or this

 It seems like every friggin' blog on this internet now is called a Manifesto. Whenever the word "manifesto" is used it is my cue to IGNORE whatever it is referring to. |

sm, you mentioned God. That makes your blog "self-indulgent," as opposed to all the posts in the philosophy thread, which is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
Carbonated Brains and Catwoman will let you know when it's appropriate to share your worldview.

mr noodle that's not fair. I didn't read anything about god, all I read was the jumble of words under his pic, and that was enough. I might disagree with religion, but I don't bring it into every bloody point I make. Tsk.
oh and my self-indulgent posts here are clearly marked as such, and not set up as an authoritative stance on anything whatsoever.

I'm with you on the Jesus rant but I get a sharp pain behind the eyes if I read philosophical parsing. Can I just trust you on that bit?

okay, maybe I got the wrong impression here, but since when does a philosophy thread have nothing to do with god?

You mean "Except for the Sycamore Manifestos, particularly the Special Guest Manifesto Series which showcases awesomely skilled commentators."

Incidentally, Troubleshooter is the guest commentator this coming Monday. Now THAT should be interesting. Wow..."Manifesto" is that overused, eh? I had no idea. I started calling my forum/blog "The Sycamore Manifestos" around this time 3 years ago, when it was hosted here at Cellar. |
