This is my 100th post. Not very many for a lot of people in the blogosphere I know, but a milestone nonetheless. I thought I’d revisit my very first blog post, since the reasons I expressed in it for my starting a blog are unchanged, and link to some of my more notable posts.
From my first post:
The reader may wonder about the url for this blog: Veritas Noctis. It is Latin and roughly translates as The Truth of Night. What is the truth of night, one might ask? Why…it is the herald of a radical new dawn. Because it is always darkest before the dawn, or so the saying goes. I developed this catchphrase for an underground group of freedom fighters, called the Dawnbringers, for a fictional setting I created for roleplaying (and maybe a future novel or three). The radical new dawn will not come of its own accord, however. It requires a voice for liberty to speak up and spread the dream. It requires many voices. Edmund Burke once said, “Silence is golden but when it threatens your freedom it’s yellow.” And so I add my voice to the others already defending and promoting liberty in the hope that I will be able to make a contribution to changing our world for the better.
With that said, among my more notable blog posts are the four on libertarian anarchy, statism, and dualism: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4.
I think I’ll also plug the snippets of fiction writing I’ve posted: A Desperate Flight , Happy Slaves & The Seeds of Disillusionment.
And, to have them all in one place, my cooking recipes: Lime (or Lemon) Rice with Peanuts, Tamarind Rice with Peanuts, Geoffrey’s Bean & Salsa Chip Dip, Spicy Chole (A chickpea dish).
And finally, my “Against Idealism: Ayn Rand and Johannes Daubert vs. Husserl’s Ideas I.”
I plan on being around indefinitely so my readers – if there are any besides Chris! – can look forward to more recipes, probably more fiction, and definitely more on philosophy, politics, culture, and economics as well as the occasional personal tidbit. Lastly, thanks to Chris for tirelessly promoting my blog on his own.
