I’d never heard of Bertrand Russell, only Russell Brand. Only when Russel Brand quoted him in the following video, from 2018, did I know a bit about Bertrand Russell and his work. Notice the language used in the first minute. Intention, expression, etc. All it means is that the truth is behind the curtain of prevailing narrative.
From the beginning of my Open Stance work, my verbiage revolved around a curve of knowable truths. On the one end we’re the beginnings of things. And, at the other, the measurement of those beginnings. Because I wrote about the interconnectedness of all human pursuits, I naturally had to develop incisive language to eliminate sloppy thinking.
Words are, once again, gaining power. Our ability to build topical platforms for civil human discourse depends on precision. Within our constructions exists an agreed upon set of assumptions that bind the subjective to the objective – no matter the topic. The more I teach, the more I find that it’s our assumptions that have diverged over the past decades… not our intentions.
Choosing an Open Stance philosophy expresses our intent to efficiently and solidly strike a golf ball, and move it toward a specific target with power and precision. It’s not exactly splitting the atom in the hierarchy of important things. However, it provides a goal-setting/achieving opportunity that expresses a disciplined golfer’s innermost desire.
Fortunately, I am in position to arbitrate the assumptions on this topic.
Open your stance, and play golf.
