Beyond the Waste Land

During the past five years I have been busy raising our three young children while also being occupied with an exciting but stressful project at work. Now the children are in primary school and my work has settled into a more leisurely pattern (but still with the occasion outbursts of stress) so I have more time to devote to this blog.

During the past five years I have been busy posting comments at various blogs. This allowed my different forums to express my ideas while preserving the flexibility to fade away during times my workload exploded. I will try to collect and post some of my better comments from these blogs over the next several weeks.

During the past five years I have also spent a lot of time studying different subjects, particularly military strategy, history of all sorts, economics, general civilization theory, and most recently evolutionary psychology. These studies have proved invaluable in arming me with enough knowledge to develop concepts and express ideas about the world.
