The Meaning of This Blog

If you've stumbled upon my blog, you're probably wondering what it's about. Perhaps, because of the name, you think it's going to be about math. Let me tell you now- I have no plans whatsoever to write about math on a blog.  That would be extremely boring, and I don't need that many hecklers. Besides, what would there be to talk about? Numbers belong in the context of a story or an idea, not in a report by themselves.

The "N" in The Nth Power represents both a variable and an answer. Not in math, though, not on this blog. Think of it in the context of science and philosophy. It's just about deducing an answer. Sometimes n has a clear answer, such as in 14n = 588 (n = 42). That's pretty straight-forward, but there are others that aren't so much. Sometimes there's so little concrete information that you get something more like this: (a + b + d^2) / (cfg - h!) + q = n^23 + 6i(jx * 10^-78)

This is more in the field of philosophy (unless it's just a very difficult science problem). Although some aspects of philosophy can be probed by science (such as why we have morals), other aspects are so fuzzy that few people have a concrete answer, and these same people may have very different answers (such as what good morals are, and why they're good).

So, that's what I'll be blogging on- science and philosophy, especially in the context of society. Sometimes I'll report, other times I'll probably border on ranting. What good is a blog if you can't rant?

Ylerecnis,
