The Novice is my notebook for thinking in public (¶26.1).
Entries are posted occasionally and revised frequently. Most are interconnected. They're also numbered sequentially by year to track how my thinking evolves.
Where to Start
26.1 - Noting as a Practice explains why the site exists.
In political theory, 26.3 - Integrative Liberal Democracy sketches a framework for holistic social progress. 22.1 - The Democracy Wager offers a fun little thought experiment on a point that I wish more liberals understood.
In contemplative studies, 22.1 - The Unburdening Years recounts where I started; 22.3 - Winning Won't Make Us Happy explores what doesn't work. I'm still figuring out what does.

Entries are prone to mistakes, puns, malapropisms, and damnable half-truths. Few are useful or intelligent. The site's title explains all.
