My final post

It saddens me to say that this is going to be the last post on this blog.

Since August 2007 there has been 1,729 posts, most of which have come from me but some from a few guest posters. It has been a great experience. I feel like my writing abilities have grown through practice, and that my ideas have developed and over the years become more sophisticated. I want to thank all those commenters that have challenged my ideas and have corrected my typos. Not all of you have been nice but all of you have been engaged and ultimately that is what I would want from commenters.

I won’t go into why I am retiring from blogging except to say that it is for professional reasons. I hope to continue to contribute to the debate of ideas through different venues and opportunities.

My stated goal for this blog has always been:  to contribute to the philosophical and political movement towards greater personal responsibility and freedom. I feel like I have, in a small way, accomplished this and I hope that you have found my writing and posts to be interesting and informative.

Farewell!
