Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

December already.  I don’t mean to sound like a broken records here. (Millennials won’t know what I am talking about here, maybe their grandmother said that off and on).  It seems every blog I am saying: how did it get to be this date, this month, this year, etc. Well 2018 is not over yet.…
