What the heck is going on in here? 101
An Brief Introdution to the Site
GusGo's Web Blog Site was made to share with you few of my own personal thoughts and projects. Until recently, most of my compositions were limited to journeys. Now, I wish is to address YOU, not the masses, not the elites, only you. I just want to present you my attempt to answer critically life 's big questions. You have the opportunity to accept , deny, or refute my propositions. So , welcome , to the debate.
The core of my ideas comes from my life experiences: growing as a young man in Venezuela ,and later going back, rebelling against the status quo , overcoming feelings of alienation from a society very different from me , living abroad and wandering over the world across places like the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Middle East , Europe, China, Central America, and The Amazons.
They also come from a lot of daydreaming, meditating , reading and thinking about pretty much everything but especially about traditional problems in Philosophy as represented by other philosophers.
Anyway , my web logs try to tell my quest dealing with intellectual questions, socio-political issues, moral dilemmas, and personal crises of every day life. Eventhough, some of
my conclusions could be outside the normal social conventions and in some cases totally unorthodox , somehow, I offer ,in my arguments , reasons to believe that my claims are true.
I am not an academic or a scholar nor I pretend to be one. I am just a guy who sees philosophy as a way of life ,and writing as a form of self expression.
Very soon after scanning through some of my posts , you will notice (beside that I need serious editing
sorry dyslexia in the house) few frequent themes:
1) My desire to escape from the established social norms for a rich life of personal auto realization and an authentic cultivation of a strongly independent and autonomous identity
2) The central important I attach to freedom : Freedom to explore one’s potential, Freedom to create one’s self, Freedom of personal expression, Freedom from rigidly defined roles and hierarchical systems, and also important, the Freedom to fail.
3) My constant searching for meaning in the world, running away from emptiness through creative action.
4) A love for natural processes. My inclination towards solitude.
5) My analysis to major problems in modern industrial society with the propositions.
Continually, I am adding new material to the site. Constantly, I am updating it with more information.
These days, I have been active in discussions about Spirituality, Creativity, and Philosophy in SoulPancake.com. I add my postings in here too.
In addition, The web site includes information about two projects of mine: the agro-ecological /auto sufficient home project “The Shire" , and a list of my formal philospphy papers
The photo gallery display some pics. I hope you enjoy them.
In the About GusGo section, you get some info about the person behind the writings.
You are very welcome to write your comments on the site or just send me an email if you prefer. Well , that's it!
Best wishes to you all,
