A must read--unsolicited review

I apologize to my readers for the lack of posts over the last few weeks. I have no excuse--there is plenty to write about, plenty of arguments to present, and lots of ideas to throw around.
I have come across an excellent blog titled "Interdisciplinary World" by Dr T. This is a blogger who I see as very like-minded to myself. His latest posts, on sexuality and politics and on fanaticism are very well written, and bring up some points that will give the reader some substantial food for thought.
Dr T. backs up every statement with well researched references, and his writing is articulate. Best of all, he posts every day, covering a myriad of subjects.
What sets him apart from other Libertarian bloggers can be seen in the statement of purpose in the header of his blog, which reads:
It is time we had an interdisciplinary world. It is time we created a society where all levels of thinking and society can work together – so the individual psychologies can live together in a more integrated society. Interdisciplinary thinking tries to promote environmentalism, capitalism, religion, heroic individualism, and families simultaneously. Beauty, truth, and ethics are united.

In every item he posts, Dr T applies this statement of purpose, tying every example to the community. He is, what we might call an "Objectivist," that is, an activist in the philosophy made popular by the late author Ayn Rand. Objectivism is a viable, important, and necessary alternative to socialism. He presents objectivism in a practical manner, in integrating it into the idea of an "interdisciplinary world."
This is a must read for anyone who reads and writes blogs, as well as anybody who is interested in ways to repair society. Whether you agree with him or not, Dr T will allow you to think about what you do believe.

I like Dr T's work as well, but after all I am his Bro. Good writing none the less.

Rev. Jim--I'm sorry I didn't write sooner. I see you visited my personal website. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I haven't gone there myself in quite a while--kinda like my blog. My creativity goes in cycles.

I'll work endlessly on my website, get bored, blog for a while, get bored, find something else.

Right now that something else is nature and wildlife photography. I guess that means that sometime in the near future, I'll be updating my website with those photos. Depends on when those creative juices get going.

Anyway, it was great hearing from you. Maybe someday I'll get back to my blog.

Take care.

Thank you for the review. I'm always on the lookout for other Libertarian bloggers out there, so I will bookmark this site and look through it later.
