The biggest reason I’ve started using this blog more often (just take a look at the date on the posts) is to explore whatever is on my mind at the time without being on a social media platform. I assume the most likely person to actually run across this website, which I’ve literally forgotten exists for a few years, would be a future student doing due diligence. I’d like that person to have the tools they need to make informed choices about whether to work with me, which is why my take on invalid ideas is worth making public. Some people aren’t interested in working with someone who’s not going to let people bullshit their way through a college composition course. Caveat emptor.
The reason I’ll never turn the comments on is because I don’t care what some random passersby to this blog might have to say. That and I’m pretty sure the bulk of the traffic to this site are bots trying to sell market analytics tools of questionable value—if my inbox is any indication. I interact with people in a bunch of different places. This just happens to be a place where I will somewhat publicly explore my own thoughts and, perhaps once in awhile, my brain will let me in on its secrets.
