about the unenslaved

greetings.
i am Synthaetica. i have blogged in many places, under at least a few names, to the point where i felt enslaved by the practice of blogging. my participation in such places was sporadic at best, and those places largely just served to piss me off about how much i didn’t get done.
as well, the reason why i tended to fail at those endeavors was because their focus was never quite solidified. sure, i love photography, but not with the same frenzied passion that so many do, so i’d wander off on other tangents. and i also love being a smartass, but at 40-something the constant acerbity sets my own teeth on edge. not to mention that the one-trick-pony approach was pretty lame when the trick was essentially photo-caption snark. well before the last elections, i managed to burn myself out on that.
so from the outset, this site is something a little different. you’ll find that my being a smartass is a little difficult to avoid, but it won’t consume what i do here. the intent of this site is to address my true passions, which are, summarily:
- working against the establishment, especially the indirect enforcement of supporting legislation, of a theocratic state
- fighting against all forms of religious involvement, entanglement, and decision-making in the realm of public education
- offering insight to those people who want to receive it, regarding the process of disassociating oneself from delusional thinking in terms of religious beliefs, spirituality, and emotional dependency.
so, that’s what this is about. this takes up from where i only briefly touched upon in the written form, on a few occasions, at the otherwhirled. i hope you enjoy it as much as i believe i will.

Looking forward to reading your thoughts. Great domain name. I’m surprised it was available. We definitely need more people who are brave enough to say the things that need to be said speaking up.
You’d be surprised how many people are emboldened by seeing others speak out. It’s a snowball effect.
The good news is, this movement is just starting to take off. By getting in on the ground floor, we establish ourselves as the forefathers of this movement. I just wish I would have started earlier. Now History is gonna give Dawkins and Harris all the credit!

Thanks, Dusty. Yeah, history will toss about the names Dawkins and Harris, but actually, they wouldn't be successful without the unenslaved thoughts of tens of thousands (if not millions) of others.
