This second novel, <em>Stranger in a Strange Land<\/em>, was put to the side for a different set of excuses than in 2016 and 2017: I was spending too much time trying to make sense of the gangsterish ruling elite of the United States (and other Western countries) but I was also trying to turn back to more fundamental matters in metaphysics and theology.  As a result, a relatively large percentage of essays posted in 2018 made it into <em>Part VII<\/em>, titled <em>What Means It All?<\/em>.  I hope to finish <em>Stranger in a Strange Land<\/em> by May at the latest.  I&#8217;ve also begun to work on other mothballed novels and seem to still have little interest in working on a nonfiction book though I continue to study mathematics and science, trying to draw concepts from those fields which experienced such explosive growth in various ways in recent centuries.  I&#8217;ll continue writing shorter nonfiction pieces for my blog.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve uploaded an update to the collection of my weblog writings: Acts of Being: Selected Weblog Writings From 2006 to 2018.
