Limiting the scope of individual daily activities is inevitable. Certain accomplishments require a multitude of individuals to work together. Individuals cannot accomplish every potential task everyday. At some level individuals have to make a decision about what set of daily activities to strive to accomplish. How do individuals begin to consider limiting the scope of potential activities to consider? At what point can individuals be held responsible for being aware of the total number of potential activities? Will somebody at some point strive to develop a master list of all potential activities? If somebody was able to develop a master list of all potential activities, then somebody would have to figure out a way to evaluate all of the potential activities at one time.
F. Adam questioned the nature of inquisition through the development of prose. At some level of discussion the individual pursuit of inquisition through the development of prose has to be evaluated against as a conflict between the usage of time and the potential of production. Some writing is a free flowing expression of thought about a given topic. Presenting arguments in a written form for reflection and revision is the beginning of a process that strives to perfect the iterative process. Without question individual contributions are only a ripple in the greater pool of knowledge.
The growing number of potential distractions and alternatives to taking action developing everyday do not change the path to knowledge. Pursuing the path to knowledge involves striving to define what daily activities are necessary. Recently F. Adam decided to visit the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Perhaps the history of the Garden of the Gods rock formations defines the difference between mystery and scientific fact. Maybe knowledge about the actual process of how the Garden of the Gods formed does not change the experience of actually witnessing the sheer magnitude of the rock formations.
F. Adam called into question the very process of active daily writing during the visit to the Garden of the Gods this week. Central to the argument in question is the actual process of devoting the beginning of each day to exercising the mind. At the extreme end of production an individual could devote enough time to generate ten thousand words everyday. Writing everyday does not require extreme production or prose. Simply sitting down and writing a single page of prose can be enough to spark the creative process. A key difference exists between the production of prose to complete a task and the spontaneous generation of prose devoted to inquisition.
Devoting early morning hours to pure inquisition through the development of prose does not offset the need to engage in the production of prose to complete tasks. Individuals who write for a living or engage in extensive writing in the workplace are focused on completing a task. Generating prose to complete tasks is important, but at the same time generating prose to develop ideas and question processes is also important.
