My personal mission statement

My personal mission statement

My mission, in the intellectual realm, is to help to turn the page of Modernity as a 600 year-long epoch in the history of ideas.
Some of the weapons I use in this endeavor are, however, quite modern: revolutionary utopism, and irreverence. And some are postmodern, like hyperbolic headlines, and bit-sized thoughts.
Wanna help? Think, and talk, along the lines of this blog (and choose your own weapons).
