Knowing where you are means knowing where you came from, or something like that. I have cleaned up some grammar and word choice issues in the following pieces but beyond that I am presenting them without updates to preserve both their original context and, hopefully, the evolution of my writing. As such, these posts may contain some problematic opinions and other stuff I’m not exactly proud of.
