			In the spirit of Diogenese, Voltaire, and Lewis Carroll, [[humor]], satire, and absurdism will be used to help remind us that [[life]] is a [[cosmic joke]] and none of this stuff should be taken ''too'' seriously!

	As anyone who has ever published a work of philosophy has experienced, people who read it will immediately point out all of the arguments in [[history]] that you failed to respond to. Sometimes these have varying degrees of relevance, and you can often extrapolate the argument that would've been made, even if the [[Authors\|author]] didn't include it in their [[book]]. These criticisms are forever seen as shortcomings of your [[work]], and even if your [[future]] publications address these issues, it is often like retractions in the [[media]]--far fewer people see the correction than saw the original.

			Some might say [[wikipedia:Process_philosophy\|Philosophy is a Process]], especially if you're [[wikipedia:Alfred_North_Whitehead\|Alfred North Whitehead]]. His view of the ever-changing world in which we live laid many of the foundations for the [[concept]] of a [[self-organizing]] [[universe]] that this [[wiki]] describes.

	Making complete arguments [[reasoned]] from first principles using all of the academically correct terminology is not how you write philosophy for public consumption. If a [[metanarrative]] makes sense of the world without implying anything [[Pseudoscientific\|unscientific]], and people can understand it and explain it to their [[friends]], then it is a much more powerful [[meme]] than anything produced by academia. The academic works are absolutely necessary to push the boundaries of thought and inform the [[evidence]] and [[rhetoric]] used on this [[wiki]]. Something more accessible is needed to enable these [[ideas]] to spread as far as they need to in order to reach a [[wikipedia:Tipping_point_(sociology)\|tipping point]].
