Introduction
Before you venture any deeper into the domain of my assorted thinking you might first want to visit Paul Graham's What You Can't Say. It will bring you to another place in the ecosphere of the web and will inform you a little about the founding principles behind the creation of this blog.
This place will be swarming with interlinking acronyms, holistically connecting everything with everything, from the outspoken to the outlandish and from the instrumental to the insane. This is a free-for-all playing ground for creative thoughts, gravitating and interacting like molecules or probability clouds thereof afloat in a mist of harmonic distortion. There's more way then one to do such a thing, and this Blogspace provided by Google's Blogger is just one of them.
As Paul Graham stated there are a lot of things a lot of people would probably hesitate to formulate aloud amidst their peers. Issues that would be considered taboo in a given conversation. The following introduction to an article on Common Dreams News Centre also touches the subject of conversational taboo:
"At one dinner party with dear friends, I find that no criticism of Israel is allowed. At another, with equally dear friends, only remarks supportive of Palestinians are countenanced. As talk -- and silence -- at dinner tables shows, no question is more polarized than this one." Source
I beg to differ. The Polarisation Effect Value (PEV) at the dinner table depends for a large part on the people present. And since this is a Blog freely accesible to everybody with Internet Acces the guests at this particular table can be legion. And I will do my utmost to touch on as many social taboos as possible, quite possibly alienating each and every soul. In other words, this might all be opinionised but not without logic or reason, and if you are sincerely commited to one taboo or another, you'd best be on your way out.
2048 refers to 1984 by George Orwell which was written in 1948.
It's original title, "The Last Man in Europe", obviously refers to me (AaA) :-)
