Ontological Damnation

Briefly I forgot the purpose of this exploration of the space between “truth” and “fiction.” I think that’s the way I “put it.” Probably I would “put it” a different way now, and use less punctuation. Indeed, I will set out to “put it” a different way at the earliest opportunity. In “putting it” a different way, or another way, or following a different leader, etc., I will enable myself to defeat the purpose of this blog. What is the purpose of this blog? Is there a purpose to this blog? The purpose of this blog is indeterminate. The purpose of this blog is indeterminate. The purpose of this blog is growing every day.
