I've started a blog, yesterday.

I'm interested. If you plan on posting semi-regularly or irregularly, please consider adding an RSS feed. It's the only way to follow sites that don't have a regular update schedule.

I did it, hope it works.

Please add it to the list of blogs by LWers in the wiki.

I've see only a math post. Do you plan to write in what kind of topics?

Comment author: Thomas 02 June 2013 09:37:55PM 0 points [-]

Math, physics, coding, strategy games, conflicts, the (near) future as I see it, promoting some contrarian views.

I don't approve many common views, I think I can see through several established misconceptions. Still, I could be wrong now and then.

Still, I could be wrong now and then.

If you think you're only wrong "every now and then", then you haven't really learned much from LW.

Good point. To avoid being wrong, one may restrict himself to write about common accepted things, like 2+2=4. What is boring.

But I will say something very controversial. Like "faster rotating planets are warmer than slowly rotating, everything else equal". Most people "know" it is the other way around. Then I will try to decompose this statement to some well known and thus boring facts.

Risky strategy I know.

Oh, don't get me wrong (no pun intended) - I don't think it's a bad thing to be frequently wrong. It's only bad to a) refuse to change your opinion and b) not realize you're wrong.
