I believe that writing down our thoughts and feelings is important. It allows us to organize our reasoning and further stimulates our explorations. Also, as we share them with one another we can make ripples in the world to promote good and creativity. We all have thoughts, and all on a wide variety of subjects. The ones collected here are mine. I shall try to keep them somewhat organized and focused.

Outsourcing Our Moral Resolve
We've all heard that no internet filter is foolproof. Undesired
content will periodically get through to harass innocent users, and malicious users
will always be able to find a way around any security measure. I'm sure
we've also all heard, and even shared, that this is the reason why we need to
have a personal moral filter to be safe. While that certainly is a reason, I very strongly feel that even
if we had a foolproof
filter, where was never any chance of seeing lewd material by accident or
intent, that that would in no way lessen the importance for a strong, moral
compass inside. It is imperative that we be able to moderate our choices first
and foremost by the strength of our own integrity, and thus we are not meant to
outsource that responsibility to a software. All that being said, I do support filters and wholeheartedly recommend
them, but they should only be seen as tools to complement, and never replace,
our own moral resolve.
