Welcome

Welcome to Robby's Pancake House

I have started this blog as a means to share those things I have learned and those things I'm pondering. Not because I think I'm some great person, but because I love to get down to the fundamentals of things and wrestle with things like epistemology. I reject the postmodern notion that truth is not knowable, I think truth is knowable. Truth is worth knowing and pursuing with all your heart. I believe in the correspondence theory of truth. I'm egalitarian regarding persons and an elitist regarding ideas, Some ideas are simply superior to others. This site will be explicitly Christian and my thinking will be done from an explicitly Christian worldview. Sound thinking will be the rule and I will do my best to use language carefully so as to avoid confusion. For after all, clarity is more important than agreement. However, I'm fallible, so if I blunder please let me know. If you do correct, be prepared to substantiate it. This will be a place where politics, religion, philosophy and what ever else is on my mind will be discussed regularly. So hopefully this will become a place you visit regularly to get some food for thought.

Robby's Pancake House is officially open for business.

So.... Pancake man, will you train Natalie to run?

Robert said...

Yes, and I will teach her also to fight the good fight.

Mr. Flapjack, I am waiting for some good syrup?

Reese said...

Truth is not only know-able but experience-able.
One however must be willing to be nakedly open and strip away the syrup from the pancakes.

You ever get syrup on your eating tools and have a hard time getting it off your fingers and though you touch something, you really never do just stick to it through the syrupy goo...

Love
French Toast Man

True truth is never wrong, but my experience and interpretation can be wrong. I disagree with your imperative, It is not a good idea to be naked and open with everyone and a life without sweetness is, well, bitter.

Not sure what you were trying to communicate with that last thought of yours.

I like that
True Truth--Greek Real Reality is never wrong.
Reality--I am

Sometimes we get coated in things that don't wash off to easily and stick our tools to our senses and percpetions. We think we know something but the barrier prevents its real knowing and tends to stick to one and all I touch.

Maybe it was just a series of sounds poorly strung together but maybe those sounds were just a function of the weather and each indelible character.

Love your goof ball brother who is still trying to wash the syrup of his fingers and mind.
