SCA Philosophy - Sources

[akitrom]

Three days after being brought into the Order of the Laurel, I thought I might mention some of the philosophical work that has informed my position on things.

• None of these were written in the last few years, and many of them are decades old. They come from various other lands where the customs are not necessarily the ones you've been brought

Thank you

It was quite useful to have these texts and links in one place.

Certainly, I can't argue with anything I've read here. (Well, OK, I could - but only for the sake of arguing, and I just don't feel the need for debate right now.) Reading these has helped me hone some of my own thoughts on the matter. It also expanded my reading list... again.

I think discussion of this topic is something I'd like to see more of, in a variety of situations and settings. I think I'll start with my Shire.

Thank you for sharing.

I think your new LJ icon is truly awesome.

Looking forward to the photos and stories from your elevation. Wish I could have been there. :-)

Thanks, Christian! Reading through this was a very pleasant way to procrastinate today. ;) I feel no remorse for having done so.

I'm looking forward to reading through all these after Shabbat.

I would humbly offer evaluating laurel candiates, especially for the discussions in the comments.

First, congratulations.

Second, a simple philosophy I try to follow. "If no one is bleeding, why are you screaming?" In other words, there are few true crises(?) everything else is an inconvenience.
