A Change of Policy, Again.

Since I found it to be rather annoying to have two blogs — one in German that I update sometimes, and one in English that I update rather seldom — I have decided to fuse both blogs into one. Which means: This blog is going to be bilingual in the future. And I am going to repost my German posts to “Winged Mind” here in the next days.

I am sorry for the chaos.

A New Blog

If devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.

– Ayn Rand.

In this respect, I started another blog: http://winged-mind.livejournal.com/

It is in German for the most part, and intended to be a “Gedankenblatt”, i.e. a place where I simply dump everything of interest that comes to my mind or attention, without aiming at comprehensive systematization or completeness. Heroic Dreams, of course, will continuie as a blog, although I don’t update too frequently. It decided to reserve Heroic Dreams for more elaborate, systematic presentations of my thoughts. At the moment, I am working on a piece concerning homosexuality and human nature. However, I don’t know when I will be able to finish it, since I am quite busy at the moment with my university papers.

A fresh start!

Welcome to my new blog!

I havn’t been blogging for quite a while now. My former blog started to bore and frustrate me, because I didn’t know what to write about, I didn’t have the time, and I hated the spam. Additionally, I don’t share any longer some of the points expressed in my former entries, and since some of them really annoyed me, I stopped blogging.

But, well, I have reflected on my basic approach to blogging and have decided that it was time to give it another try. In future, I will be blogging primarily for my own interests, not as some sort of duty, but because it can be of value to me. Specifically, I am going to blog primarily on philosophic issues, and hope for some illuminating comments and discussions. This also is the reason why I changed my blog language from German to English, since there aren’t many people in Germany (yet?) who do philosophy from an Objectivist perspective. Besides, a little English writing practice wouldn’t be bad. ;-)

I don’t know yet how regularly I am going to blog. But well, we’ll see!
