About Blue Ocean Light
Blue Ocean Light is a place to drop the luggage of convention and free your mind to explore, challenge, create, or be inspired. At its foundation, Blue Ocean Light believes that the best ideas and greatest advances come from free people. Therefore much of the writing here will be a libertarian perspective on current events or prevailing wisdom. We believe there is a consistent thread running from political freedom to creative freedom. The creation of the new is encumbered by existence of the old and the familiar. What we have today may not be perfect, but it’s comfortable. Incumbency has great power over what might come to replace it. Governments conspire with large companies and other institutions to protect the interests of incumbents, usually under the guise of helping consumers, or taxpayers, or voters, or (worst of all) average citizens. (Who wants to be known as average?)
So the content here will be a mix of political commentary and futuristic conceptual thinking, which may not seem political at all. We may draw inspiration from John Stuart Mill or Ayn Rand just as readily as from the Wright Brothers or Henry Ford or Bill Gates. The common challenge they all faced, as pioneers in their particular fields, was that the incumbents were aligned against them.
Oh, and…there will be sports.
