Sorry for the Delay - Returning Soon!

I Shall Return

Sorry for the long delay on this blog. This definitely is not meant for the blogging world graveyard, but life has been incredibly busy, and aside from my first vacation in three years (my first time to Las Vegas), working hard for my boss while learning new responsibilities, freelancing, and trying to get my own businesses running and other blogs updated, as much as I love this blog, it's the one that fell through the cracks.

While things are still going to be somewhat sporadic the next few weeks or so, I do want to continue posting here and really steer away from politics to more cerebral issues. I've been dallying on Hubpages a little bit, so for the sake of discussion, here are some links on popular arguments that I think really should be debated:

Predestination Versus Free Will

Why Should We Legalize Marijuana?

Ancient History's Mysteries

I'm proud of these three pages, and believe there should be a lot of thought provoking discussion because of it. Enjoy, and I'll be back soon with my James Bond as a Renaissance Man argument!

Striving to Be a Modern Renaissance Man - Thoughts, Theories, & Independent Deliberation

I Love the Idea of Being a Modern Polymath

Welcome to my blog, "Dayton's Contemplations." For those of you wondering, Polymath is a much easier to spell synonym for the term "Renaissance Man." I take the general meaning of Renaissance Man, as one who has a wide variety of learning in many areas. I also modernize the term in that I don't believe art and science alone should make a well rounded Polymath, but certainly other fields of study are just as important.

What I wanted with this blog is a place where I can write about ideas not being covered anywhere else, jump from topic to topic, and hopefully meet other people as varied and interesting (do I dare hope, as weird?) as I am. I'm a firm believer that now more than ever education is far too niched and the world needs people who can think independently and discuss new and old ideas, and be willing to change their position based on new knowledge.

Being "right" is not only arguably impossible, but it really isn't all it's cracked up to be. Anyway, there will be future posts in the future. Thanks for visiting my blog, and comments are always welcome. Here's to the future of becoming modern Renaissance Men (and women)!
