. . . that some individuals expected to find a more academic blog here, or even that it might be beneficial for me to be writing a more academic blog.
This is actually not an unfair critique of this blog, however . . .
let it be known . . .
This blog will not be subjugated by any expectation of strictly academic content
While there will certainly be academic thoughts on this blog, and the pursuit of noble topics like truth and beauty (among other more suspect constructs), this blog will generally not be composed of overly self involved prose defined around vague concepts. Rather, in an effort to avoid generating massive thick blocks of text, this blog will generally not string together impossible sentences with incomprehensible words, strictly for the purpose of creating a big texty space. In order to avoid such lengthy and perturbatory strings of text, this blog will instead, proceed laterally in the pursuit of real concepts about actual consciousness. Towards this end, this blog, will in-fact, pause only ex temporum, to ensure that no random latinate verbage is being deployed, nor that extraneous clauses are added, employing both vociferous text, and extraneous punctuation.
Basically
As is evident from the available data (and any reasonable interpretation there of), this blog will be prone to rambling.
I believe that was there in the subtitle.

Dude, your blog should be whatever you want it to be. I just want to see more links to Star Trek trailers. Nice use of "perturbatory," btw.
Thanks man, mostly the topic came up and it was an excuse to write this post (and use perturbatory).
i *do* love this post... makes me laugh every time i read it--you are EXCELLENT at building a dense word structure :)
(plus, i agree with you.)
Why would you ever do that? Only academics read academic blogs. You spend most of your week there, do you want to spend your time here doing that as well?
;)
[...] claims I’ve made to the contrary one of the functions of this blog is in fact academic research. With that in mind, I’m a bit [...]
