Zoitica, esti barbata!

Descoperirea saptamanii: de departe, cel mai promitator nou blog din ClujBlogRoll. Ingrediente majore in posturile de pana acum: stil, acel epsilon necesar de imprevizibilitate si, mai ales, elementul “exposure”.

Blogging as self-experimentation

I think Tyler Cowen is right to a great extent. And I just love the “less patient with the Continental philosophy” idea. True, true, how true! I would only add that blogging is also providing me (some of you) with an incentive to actually learn more, in a much more (self)disciplined way (understood here that one only blogs about things s/he himself considers interesting and worth blogging about, to start with; this should be the sine qua non of blogging).
