Odum's Great Ideas Blog

This was originally intended to simply be a course blog for my LASA Great Ideas/ Humanities course. Now it is something more. I am leaving LASA for the unknown and it would mean a lot to me to keep this blog going so that we can, as an intellectual community, continue to share ideas and discuss issues.

If anyone has any suggestions about how I can improve my blog, or the class, please write me.

The General Concept

Formerly a blog for my Great Ideas/ Humanities course at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy in Austin, TX. Now, a general blog about the Human Sciences, my own thoughts and experiences, and anything else that I feel like writing about.

In other words, a vanity project cross-bred with an information dump.

This is then decidedly not special, and that is a good thing.
"What?" you ask, "How is it that being special is not a good thing?"
The traits which usually prompt something to be labeled "special" (intelligence, wit, physical presence, musical ability, etc.) are
1. Possessed by all to one degree or another (thus "special-ness" in this sense is only a question of magnitude, rather than existence).
2. Are often defined as universally good, and thus beyond reproach. This line of thought is cannibalistic in that it eats it's own logic. If something is beyond question then it is not universally good. The fortitude of a concept in the face of inquiry is one of the true tests of reasonability.
3. These traits can often alienate those marked by their possession. They are hailed as saints, or burned as heretics. They are considered benign, and are thus held to a less rigorous standard of conduct, or they are seen as dangerous, to be repressed, destroyed, or simply to be ignored.

These are situations to avoid, and of which to take advantage.
