Changes

November 14th, 2006

I’ve been reading over some of my past blog entries in the archives, and I’m amazed at some of what I wrote.  I’ve changed so much in the last few years that it’s hard for me to even indentify with that person who was writing back then.  Here’s an overview of huge changes over the course of my blog entries:

Christianity -> Atheism
Conservatism -> Libertarianism
Bush Supporter -> Bush… not-supporter
Mysticism -> Scientific

Those are huge changes taken individually, but all four together just leaves me stunned.  It’s hard for me to put into perspective.  I’m basically a completely different person than I used to be.

How could that happen?

Was I really always this person I am today and before just fighting against it?

Well, as I look at these changes a bit more, I realize that they are all based on one thing, a change in my basic epistemology.  Basically the move from mysticism to skepticism.

There is the saying that says something along the lines of ‘people never change.’  Well, I now know that’s complete bullshit.  Get with the game!  Your destiny is in your hands, and you decide who you want to be.
