Firstly, introductions are in order. For those of you who do not know me, my real name is Galen Hench. Lando is a fun alias I picked up from Frisbee; a name I felt it appropriate to use on here as well. While I like to believe that I’m as up-to-date as the others about political and economic issues I confess that I’m not the best commentator on such topics. I believe it is therefore in the best interest of our readers to leave those subjects Jessa and Spencer. I would instead like to veer the topics of my writings towards those dealing with philosophy and ethics.

The beauty of philosophy is that it encompasses literally every angle of human life. There is no aspect of humanity that cannot be grasped firmly in the hands of philosophical thought. Philosophy does not have to be limited to mundane texts criticizing sex (thanks, Kant) or criticizing your weekly hamburger (we see you back there, Singer). It is instead merely a way to examine ourselves, our society, our world, and our universe.

The goal of my blogging shall be to blend the classic schools of philosophical thought with modern day technology and innovation (ever wonder what Socrates would have too say about time travel?). My goal is not to shift any sort of political affiliations or religious beliefs. I simply wish to jumpstart the imagination that already exists in each of us, daring all who read to think outside of our primordial box.

As a side note, I am quite busy at the moment. Therefore, for the time being, my blog posts will be quite random. I will write and post when I have time.
