Call me on my bullshit!
Yes. Please.
Overwhelmingly, in fact. If you are reading this and are my friend, this is the most useful thing you can, as far as I can conceive at present, do for me. Bring it on.
For at least a decade now I have had an ferocious commitment to the truth as I understand it. I am willing and open to communication on this level. If you feel at any point I am not answering truthfully, or, perhaps more relevantly, clearly, call me on it. I do not not know what you don’t know until you tell me. Push for clarification. Ask better questions and I will give better answers, as to the best of my ability.
I am finding life enormously fascinating at the moment. 🙂
Okay, its’s 7am, and I should go to bed. I suspect my head may hurt upon waking. It’s all good.

Umm, this doesn’t sound like a request to call you on your “bullshit” as such. Rather it sounds like you feel your version of the truth will become ours, if only you can explain it to us in just the right way.
For example, I’m certainly very interested in your philosophy/worldview. However, most of the time it doesn’t come across to me as “the truth”, any more than the thoughts of many other, equally lucid and eloquent writers I’ve encountered. As such I personally don’t think you need to clarify, because your blog is basically an interesting read, rather than a formative influence on my worldview.
I was thinking expressly in terms of face to face communication rather than anything to do with the blog. What is comprehensible to me is not always comprehensible to others in the same terms. It is my desire to communicate effectively.
I make no claims to possessing “the truth”.
I revel in your “bullshit,” Billy.
OK, here you go 🙂
RE: the book– just beware of not doing anything because you are waiting for the perfect situation to happen.
Ok then, I’d say that this post needs clarification.
I’m willing to try, but I’ve never thought of you as someone who takes criticism well. 🙂
