A hallucination is a fact, not an error.

I made a tentative wiki for a philanthropic concept of a thought center.  Basically the idea is break down and try to understand the seemingly impossible to understand topics, like God, creation, knowledge, innocence, ethics, etc.  We can use the discussion here to help create different articles and expand on them as new ideas emerge.  This way we have a way to keep track of how far we've come and what we've begun to understand about each topic at hand.

Great Idea!  It would also help expand the amount of interaction we get with the outside web.

How do we start the subject matters, or are you going to cut and paste the threads in?

You can start an article by searching for it.  If the article hasn't been created yet, it will prompt you to create the page.  For example, if you search for 'God' this appears: There is no page titled "God". You can create this page.

Just click on the create this page link and it'll allow you to immediately begin writing.

No citations necessary unless you're referencing something else and it's important to your point.  Then again, if you're referencing something, then it's not that original now is it?

Thank you.  I do like the idea of trying and staying with original ideas and only referencing when necessary. 
I'll have to think about a subject and start it up tomorrow.

Not necessarily! My university education has taught me that I'm incapable of original thought because I don't have letters after my name, and therefore anything that IS original thought must have thorough citation to people who do have letters after their name. Of course, said original thought can't be too close to what the ivory tower said, because then I have committed a grand crime. Though I'm not allowed to have an original thought that hasn't been thought of before by someone with letters after their name... and therefore must copy... but crime... *head explodes*

I have a question about this site and the one that you created. 

If we start posting on that website, how will we be know if someone comes along and responds or adds to it?

While it does  expand our readership, would it not diminish LifeQuest as the postings would be outside of this blog and newcomers would not necessarily know to check the other link?

There is a history of each page.  The database tracks any and all changes, so if you want to know what the topic looked like years ago you could, given that the topic had been edited for years.  This also helps with vandalism/silliness, since it's possible to revert back to the previous page's version.

It's the exact same software as Wikipedia, so if you're familiar with that, you'll be familiar with this.
