I don’t want this blog to be too serious. I want it to be a work in progress, use it to shape my ideas when they come up, not when they are already finished, polished ideas. I believe you will enjoy it better if you don’t read my posts as peer reviewed, published scientific papers.
I won’t provide citations and proofs for everything I say. I don’t even try too hard to avoid mistakes. This is just a blog.

Everything I write here are my impressions about whatever comes to my mind, nothing else. You may agree or not, and I appreciate if you say so. I really enjoyed the discussion that my last post provoked. It provided me some nice links and articles and points of view, and all those comments made me think. I don’t have anymore the exact same opinion I had two days ago, and that’s good.

Just one more thing. I generalize. Lots of times. I have no intention of adding something like “I acknowledge it may not be the case in 100% of the cases” every time I make some statement. Please, understand that I acknowledge that in most of the times, generalizations are just that – generalizations, and not the absolute truth.
I decided to write this post after I saw this video. Clive Thompson spoke in the MIT symposium about science and technology journalism and afterwards he talked about his own blog in this video below.

I think his position about blogging is quite wise.

(I couldn’t embed the video here!!! Can anyone help me on that? For now, you will have to follow the link ...)

PS: I will continue talking about intelligence, insanity, geeks, popular people and Britney Spears soon.
