I lack a name
I can’t seem to be able to think of a name for my domain, so maybe you guys would like to offer some suggestions or something, heh.
Speaking of names, I recently re-read Scott Adam’s God’s Debris for like the hundredth time, and there was this phrase that caught my attention. You can read it online here because Scott Adam’s was nice enough to put it online for free, but I bought it because I support him. You should really go read it, it’ll be worth your time.
Anyway, I digress.
“Scientists often invent words to fill the holes in their understanding. These words are meant as conveniences until real understanding can be found.
…
More often, however, the patch words will take on a life of their own and no one will remember that they were only intended to be placeholders.”
So I thought to myself, wow that’s so true, and it makes sense. It’s like how in maths we give unknown values names like X and Y until we can determine its value. True? Then suddenly it struck me to put it into a more personal context - me. See I have a name, just like you guys, and I thought maybe my name is a placeholder meant to hold me over until I can discover and understand the true me!
To quote Socrates, “the unexamined life is not worth living”.
