when you do things right, people won't be sure you did anything at all.

Lets go...

OK, I'm not completely convinced about blogging, but I'm seeing its relevance as a historical cog. It definitely is a powerful medium of social expression. Anyway, that's a whole different discussion.
I'm reading about Philosophy in popular culture. Because 'philosopher' is not a profession, at least not a popular one, I think it's become merely an academic pursuit, as opposed to common sense. Philosophy is a little simpler than that.
In particular, the book I'm reading deals with Philosophy in Superheroes: their intent, controlling and misusing power, being able to wield it at all and a lot of different things.
What's a good thing to look at is the fact that we're talking about a fictional world here. So it was created by a person. And it's surprising how much real life wisdom you can draw from a story. Now, apart from obvious things like morals, the book delves into much deeper aspects of unintentional truths than can be drawn from the way a character acts under certain pressures, etc. I'm not going to go into it. But is it possible that we're ingrained with more knowledge than we know. And can we therefore find it within ourselves.
There's lots of implications. Collective memory for one.
