It occurred to me that the global access and exposure that the internet can provide, to anyone interested, is simply priceless. I have now spent just over two weeks on Facebook and it has provided me with the unique and unbelievable opportunity to reach scores of people, to be reached by them, to share my ideas, opinions, and views on a myriad of issues and matters, and to hear what others think as well. The magical power to disseminate thoughts and ideas to thousands, via the internet, is too good to be true, but is clearly one of the attributes that makes the internet such a powerful global information-sharing platform.
I believe that the 21st century will mark the end of the reign of the importance of tangible material assets, and will usher in the true epitome of infinite value; data, information, and knowledge. Notwithstanding, to my mind, these value drivers will be worthless if not applied properly, and the only way for that to happen is for them to be synthesized by fact and reason. This is why I started this blog, so as to provide a stimulus and a platform to anyone and everyone interested in deducing actions, reactions, pro-actions on any matter or issue from the application of a fact and reason approach to available information. It may be a life matter, an economic matter, a medical matter or a political matter, I strongly believe that the fact and reason approach can be of practical use as a model to guide, decisions, choices, options and solutions.
I would like this blog of mine to contribute to the positive, objective, and responsible discussion of issues, problems, and challenges, really of any size or nature, and encourage fruitful debate, engagement and idea-sharing for as many people as possible. If this blog evolved into something of a think tank, or a reference point / sounding board for decision-making and action taking to any degree, I would be happy.
