Welcome to "Mark's Quill"!

 Here you will find the systematic evaluation of current events, trends and sociopolitical issues through the judicious application of evidential observational philosophy. Our "information age" gadgets are saturated with myths, misconceptions, theoretical gibberish, hype and outright lies to the point where tens-of-thousands of people will "share" some bit of "information" yet few will take a few seconds to confirm or refute its validity. Fads are always self-defeating and following trends without applying serious consideration of the long-term effects will most often result in both personal and financial loss as is so commonly seen in the housing market. Applying the methodology of evidential observational philosophy affords one a clear third-person spectator view while still being very much involved in the game.

For the younger folks, a "quill" is an old time pen made from a primary wing or tail feather of a large bird, typically a goose and turkey. The end was trimmed, split and dipped in liquid ink for writing and as a side note, left-side feathers are for right-handed writers and vice versa.

For the "green" folks, please note that this is a paperless blog generated using 100% recycled electrons.

Comments and questions are always welcome but please note that all posted comments are moderated to prevent spamming.

Grab a coffee and join me on the cyber-porch!
