Reflection: 8.29.08

on pursuing esoteric avenues of thought

i sometimes wonder about the virtues of immediate associations. in my academic experience, i am often encouraged to assume a "shallow read" on the part of the audience. nuanced conceptual leaps that require intellectual investment run the risk of miscommunication sure, but isn't the payoff worth it? i contend that tangents are valuable, and great caution should be exercised in constantly appealing to the basest perceptual levels.
