I wonder

Gun culture.

In other news, I wonder.

I wonder if my thoughts are a construction. I wonder if they are a construction of my upbringing, the school I go to, the circles I turn in. I know they are. But if they are, who am I? And where is the world going? And can I make a value judgment about it? Can I choose to be righteous, successful, intelligent, philanthropic?

Who doesn't want to be a good human being? Who is damaged? Who isn't? What does being a lawyer mean? What does focusing on profit maximisation mean? What does opting-out mean? What is drug use? What is reality?

What is caring? What is selflessness? What is science and what has it done for us? What is meaning, and what is the structuralised meaning in language? And where has it gone? And was it ever structured? And if it wasn't, how was it meaning?

What is modern, post-modern, valuable? What is evil and what is good?

What is the difference between a double espresso and a soy decaf late? What is getting drunk?

What is disease? What is war? What is terrorism? What is poverty? What is inequality?

Who is at fault?

What should be done?

Who should do it?

Where am I? Not in time or space. Where am I in the dimension of life?

edit: who reads my blog?
