After some months of break and then starting to blog again, my traffic is currently at an all-time high. I haven't changed anything other than make my writing even more expansive than it's ever been.
I write to understand and deconstruct things. I want to analyze concepts and ideas by removing the mythology around them to whittle them down to their essential core.
I want to find "le fil conducteur" as we say in French; the basic wiring which provides the electricity.
Human beings are often about simplying complicated topics so they can move on. Constructing a simple model and labeling it allows us to not go further. Public policy is then often written without a full spectrum comprehension of the intricacies involved.
Sadly, more often than not, people have agendas.
Transgender issues have been a perfect lightning rod for reductionist thinking from all sides. Battle lines were drawn with convenient memes and titles to match however the truth is always far more complex and nuanced than our world desires.
This type of approach has been applied to every other subject matter which impacts human affairs. We can't be bothered with nuance and subtlety because it's far too pesky.
We want to simplify what defies simplification so we can move on.
