I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
Fascinated by this article...My work forces me to make decisions. Sometimes, maybe all too frequently, I don't know the answer and yet I launch myself and others on a course of action. I don't move forward because I'm rock-solid certain about the decision. I move forward because it is into the abyss of the unknown that I/we must go to come out on the other side. This is probably working at the level of the known -unknowns but I tend to call that impulse to move forward--- creativity. I wonder if the impulse to move forward through our unknown-unknowns is essentially the creative process as much as it is our evolutionary process? Clearly, evolution at its core is creative. I don't know why but my thoughts are drawn to a classic response to the question "what is an artist?" And the answer is that the artist is someone who looks out over the edge of the known and returns to share through his/her art with the rest of us what they saw on the other side.
