Welcome to My Blog

In the marketplace of ideas that is the internet, I am simply another merchant trying to peddle my wares. I could give you my credentials but in cyberspace credentials are really not important, are they? Admittedly, I am not really a misanthrope, though I do have a lot of contempt for humanity in general. But, I cannot lie and say I feel nothing for humans, because deep down I am pulling for the entire species to succeed; to do the right thing; to evolve. I suppose it is the constant disappointment that has led me to post my thoughts, opinions, feelings, and sociological theories. I invite your comments, arguments, and personal experiences...

Rest In Peace: Claude Levi-Strauss


- RIP Dr. Claude Levi-Strauss whose great works include The Elementary Structures of Kinship and Structural Anthropology. He will be remembered as a pioneer in his field of anthropology, a luminous thinker, and one of the few 'old guard' that was still alive. Give my regards to Emile Durkheim and Marcel Mauss. (Here)
