“Pulvis et umbra sumus.”

Horace, Odes

We are nothing but our deeds, but even those deeds are unimportant to most. We only attempt to fool ourselves into believing that our actions and beliefs matter. Milions of years after the dust settles, when we are extinct, the only thing left will be matter, not mind. But, as I am also a member of mankind, I also fall prey to the same delusions as the rest of our race. This blog will serve as a sort of reflection about interesting things I learn, notice, or find intriguing about the world that we live in. But it will also serve as a permanent (or as permanent as the internet is) discussion of my personal ideas and deeds (trifling as they may be). I wish you well, reader, and hope that the things I share fascinate you as much as they fascinate me.
