User blog:Le Rottweiler/What I’ve been doing

So, you probably noticed that I’ve halted my contributions for a few weeks now. This is especially apparent in my rate of lexicographic work elsewhere, which has become quite small recently. This is not a sign that I’m ‘leaving,’ just a sign that I’m focussing on other things. I’ve been focussing on politics, since I don’t like the shape that the world is in, but also I’ve retaken an interest in biology and especially Hominid‐related subjects. Today I watched a few videos about Neanderthals, for example. My interests tend to go in circles, drifting from one subject to the next, so quite probably, I’ll be recontributing to this project significantly. When exactly that will occur, I can’t say. I just know that my interests rotate eventually.

Sometimes I desire to debate people because it makes me feel like I’m helping the future. But a lot of times, people—including myself—can be quite resistant to taking a different view of a certain subject. We assume that we know all that we need to know, so there’s no point in looking further in order to comprehend different people. It’s even more difficult to debate people when they express a hostile or snarky attitude. I’ve often been called patient in my lifetime, but viewpoints that I consider destructive can easily frustrate me to the point of rage.

But anyway, you deserve to know that I’m not dead nor am I quitting, it’s just that my interests rotate.
