My Position

All the tearing down at the behest of my position is largely cribbed from Wittgenstein, and Nietzsche.  All the building up, the emphasis on being or anything in the vacuum left over, that is personal, inspired a great deal by transcendentalists like Walt Whitman.  I see the vacuum as a blessed gift.  Philosophies need not stick anymore, they are aesthetics, you use them as accents to your life, not prescriptions of some higher order.  There may very well be a higher order, something underlying being perhaps, but it is not knowable, we got only a hierarchy of hunches to build upon to be pragmatic.  There is more to life than being pragmatic.  Pragmatism allows the dream to continue on, but you still got to dream.
