I don't think of myself as a fence-sitter... I think of myself as an
thought-dancer. I make up my mind as is best suited to my current
objective, whatever that may be. At the moment, I'm just cruising the
latest ideoloptions, looking for whichever long term paradigms seem to offer
the most promise, the most problems, the most conflicts, and the most fun.
Perhaps the best of them can be grafted together to form a fine new beast?
Chaocreationary Thelemextropianism, anybody?
