		<description><![CDATA[I was driving down the street today when, for no apparent reason, I happened to recall a dispute I had with a friend when I was only about seven years old. The dispute was motivated by a drawing contest which culminated with me being accused of being unable to draw "everything in the world" (Remember, I was only seven.). Although at the time I...]]></description>

		<title>How to Solve a Rubik’s Cube Blindfolded</title>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[ I&rsquo;ll preface this simply. I explore how it&rsquo;s possible to leverage cognitive power to be able to solve a Rubik&rsquo;s cube blindfolded, and I do it in part by conceptually mapping algorithms through the use of my own logical tool, which I call <em class='bbc'>two-point theory</em>. I&rsquo;ll be very clear: This isn&rsquo;t a tutorial on how to...]]></description>

		<title>Drawing Parallels with Impossible Syllogisms</title>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was thinking about what to post in a thread that was specifically devoted to randomness. I knew I wanted to post something frivolous, but I wasn&rsquo;t sure what exactly. Anyway, eventually I decided that I'd exploit a common logical loop in the form of an impossible syllogism, and, a little to my surprise, it turned out to be rather fun....]]></description>

		<title>Calling a French Fry a French Fry - A Lesson in Tautologies</title>

		<description><![CDATA[After looking over one of my first blog submissions I became a little disappointed with its unnecessary wordiness. Sure, I covered everything that I set out to discuss, but some sections&mdash;one in particular&mdash;seemed almost bloated. So I thought to myself, &ldquo;Why not try to make that particular section as compact as possible? If anything,...]]></description>

		<title>My Thesis on Christianity - An Addendum</title>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[That&rsquo;s right, an addendum. And what&rsquo;s better than an addendum that comes packaged in the elegant context of a debate? Why, nothing at all. Now, without further ado, I present the original quotes for your perusal.<br />
<br />
I tried to remove superfluous content while at the same time maintaining continuity. I hope I did all right.<br />

		<title>My Thesis on Christianity</title>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the years I&rsquo;ve engaged in many debates centered on the existence of a deity; however, during that time I&rsquo;ve given very little attention to specific monotheisms. I bring it up now because I want to point out a conflict of interest that&rsquo;s very common, yet, to my knowledge, has never been addressed. It can be summed up nicely in the...]]></description>

		<title>The Beauty of Life Lies in Its Complexity</title>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[The beauty of life lies in its complexity. That statement outlines one of the key incentives for those who wish to achieve indefinite life extension, and for obvious reasons, too. Often a central point in arguments opposing this movement is that the additional time offered is simply unneeded (A stance that I&rsquo;ve jokingly come to call an &ldquo;argument...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&rsquo;s a beautiful evening in mid-autumn. You&rsquo;re walking along a path in the wilderness, wending your way around rocks and encroaching trees when you look down to discover small patches of golden light dancing across the floor&mdash;interstices cast from a variegated canopy above. You consider this for a moment, and then you look up and notice the...]]></description>
