I've been thinking a bit about writing a short book. I've always planned to, but this time it will be a bit different. My first idea for the book was about a modern philosophy of the unknowable, but now I'm more focused on process philosophy and theology. The thing is that while it will be less original, it will have more solid ground to stand on, for it is based on the work of others that has been proven (or at least assumed) to be valid. Originality is really no good indication of genius, and I was overly focused on being original. The reality of intellectual evolution is that the advances are based on the works of others, for if they weren't, we'd likely be re-inventing the wheel until the end of humanity.

So I feel that I have reached a point of intellectual maturity, and that this will help me tremendously. The main philosopher who the book will be based on will be Whitehead, but I think that Nietzsche and De Chardin will play significant roles, as well. Obviously, I have more research to do, but I would like to think that I'm about a third of the way there. There is no real way to be sure, though.

Not much else to do, besides reside in my own mind.
