What’s this all about?

What do I plan to have here, you’re probably asking yourself. (if you are - good; if not - pretend to be asking yourself. Are you doing that? No? Okay. I’m waiting. And NOW have you asked yourself? Good. Thank you. You can read on).

Well, everyone perceives reality in a different way, everyone sees things from their own point of view. This fact is widely known and much discussed, but it is such an amazing thing, it still blows my mind. When I face some situations, maybe when reading material - either online or offline, while I interact with people - anything I do really - it is all so subjective; that it is extremely hard for one person to grasp another’s perception. But we still try. All the time.

This is especially extreme when we think about it in the light of some empiricists (Hume, Locke) - in which views we are, in fact, merely these perceptions (in a simplified version of what they say). But the point is, what we have is our perceptions. And it is therefore almost impossible to grasp what other people are perceiving.

Well, despite these difficulties, you will probably get here a glimpse into a partial representation of my point of view. Mainly things I encounter online - you will probably see here some web applications I like to use, blogs I read; things I’m going through in my life - e.g. events I’m attending, people I meet etc. I’ll probably throw in some meta stuff too, just because I like it so much.

Feel free to spice things up a bit.
