The Future Awaits Us

Unsolved problems are a specialty of mine. As the essences of innovation, identification and resolution of unsolved problems are the foci of the creative impulse; and as I am a creator in my soul, I devote much of my time and energies to deeply researching the unknown frontier. Much of the unknown lies interwoven into the fabric of our everyday lives, simply unidentified; other realms of the unknown reach beyond the wildest dreams of mankind; and all of the unknown is of keen interest to me.
And in the resolution of unknowns lie the keys to our future.
Humans come before me have also expended great effort on resolving the unknown. That, after all, is how we reached the future where we stand today. As such, most of the “low-hanging fruits” amongst unknowns have been identified and resolved long ago—and even many of the more-expensive endeavors. Deep exploration of today’s unknown requires complex thought and challenges to many assumptions taken by ambient society as axiomatic. The product of such exploration can be voluminous, and the exposition of such in writing is the work of years, not hours.
Locked in my mind, I hold the fruits of both completed and ongoing efforts in exploring the unknown. My deepest instinct is to race to the mountaintops and proclaim my works to the world; in the education of humanity lies much of my pride, my joyous love, my purpose for living. However, the communication of complicated works is an arduous task, and oftentimes a tedious one.
Much of the work that now absorbs me cannot be reduced to a blog entry, or even to a serial production of essays. Any substantial engagement in such summary communication would result in exposition of half the truth, and in detrimental erroneous assumptions on the part of my readership. While I may drop bits here and there, and I may occasionally assert hints about my conclusions, a full exegesis of my discoveries shall require a far more in-depth treatment.
Naturally, such in-depth treatment shall be rather less than hasty in arriving. In the mean time, I ask my readership to keep an open mind, a resolute heart, and a brightly spirited view toward what is possible in the beauties of this world.
Most of my strongest innovations to date lie in the realm of philosophy (specifically, ethics and politics), justice, art, interpersonal relations, human sexuality, and the metaphysics of beauty. Certain other threads of my thought run into the physical and mathematical sciences, and the practical applications thereof to technology. As to that latter group of endeavors, I ask interested professionals in certain disciplines to contact me, as I cannot work alone with the complexity of rigorous science. As to the former group, individuals strongly motivated to apply such innovations in their own lives are invited to contact me; the world at large will have to wait for a bit.
Per all the above, many of my short essays currently in public release may contain unexplained assertions, oblique references to larger ideas, and other material that raises more questions than answers. In those cases, I shall link to this page as a placeholder in lieu of future, larger works. If you arrived at this essay through such a link, rest assured, you have touched only the tip of the iceberg—with the rest waiting patiently, just out of sight.
The future awaits us. With patience and determination, I shall see my pieces of it delivered, all in due time.
