This first post partially outlines the intention of this blog, although the blog will cover multiple areas of current events and other types of issues. Through this I hope to produce some kind of fresh angle on pertinent and interesting topics. So, to start it off, I wish to post a quote by one of anthropology's greatest thinkers; in many ways, my way of thinking parallels his (or at least is influenced by his ideas).

"We [anthropologists] have been the first to insist on a number of things: that the world does not divide into the pious and the superstitious; that there are sculptures in jungles and paintings in deserts; that political order is possible without centralized power and pricipled justice without codified rules; that the norms of reason were not fixed in Greece, the evolution of morality not consummated in England. Most important, we were the first to insist that we see the lives of others through lenses of our own grinding and that they look back on ours through ones of their own."
