As I’ve been watching Star Trek: Discovery (which is bloody fantastic by the way) I keep seeing frustrating discussions spawned on the internet. Some seem to dislike Discovery due to the focus on female characters - those people are simply sexist. Not much I can say about that. Some seem to think that the show is good because they focus on female characters - I’m not sure why that would make it more compelling but there seem to be people who think this is far more interesting and to each their own I suppose.

One of the frustrations I have struggled with for seemingly ever is the concept of the obvious. There are things which seem very obvious to me. Self-evident in a way. For some reason it seems like there are things which are self-evident to me which others do not see in the same light. In a lot of ways I feel like the fictional character I most identify with is Lex Luthor.

This seems to be the first part of a cycle. I create a blog to share my thoughts and ideas. I gain anonymity by doing so via a handle (albeit one that many people in my real life know.) I express myself in a way which I find cathartic and hopefully helpful to others. But over time I grow bored of such long posts. It takes time and effort to form the ideas in my head into an article which can be consumed in such a way.
