Reid Kane on Rigor and the Intellectual Pursuit

Reid Kane has a refreshingly honest post (here) that speaks to an authentic dedication to understanding at the very core of his intellectual and existential pursuits. Here is an excerpt:
"I began to understand that while ‘truth’ can sometimes be a mere ideological prop, and discourse explicitly concerned with truth can be somewhat or even predominately power-laden, these phenomena deserve to be understood as distortions that betray the ideal to which they pretend, and that the solution is not to abandon the ideal and adopt a different approach altogether (one whose ideal is musicality rather than truth, for example), but to counter the pretenders with the genuine article."
I am glad Reid is blogging again and look forward to reading how his new interests develop.
