A message to the marginalized masses...
I am quite bad at communicating with the people I care about. That is not to say that when I actually talk to you people out there that I am not able to have intelligent and meaningful social interaction, but rather to say that I rarely place phone calls and never, under any circumstances, do I compose e-mail. Sorry. I have thought a lot about sending out an e-mail to family and friends on a monthly basis, but I'm pretty sure I would not keep up with it. But maybe it will work out with this blog thing. Probably not, though.
Things are going pretty well for me right now, in general. I expect to graduate from the University of Georgia in December of this year with perhaps the most practically inapplicable undergraduate degree this side of Recreation and Leisure Studies -- a bachelor's in philosophy. But that's O.K., because I also have an exciting career in the fastest growing sector of the U.S. economy -- food service.
But now to the meat of this post...reading through Uncle Gil's blog, it seems to me that most of what he's talking about is solved by the theory of all possible worlds. As far as I can tell, the theory of all possible worlds is the most likely scenario to be the case if you take the traditional notion of the Creator out of your personal philosophy. Basically it says this: every world that could exist does, in fact, exist. All possibilities are played out, all potential scenarios come to fruition. We just happen to be the product of one particular possible world.
More on why this doesn't eliminate free will, and how this plays into my theory of subjective-objectivity and the infinite nature of the individual later. Right now, it is time for bed.

Welcome to the happy world of internet publishing. Just remember that the only thing that makes a possible world an actual world is that you do it! I look forward to following along, U Gil :-)
