The definition of fundamental is: forming a necessary base or core; of central importance. If reading is fundamental, then it is necessary and important. In a world where everybody wants to be a “know it all” by commenting, spewing (dis/mis)information, and hashtagging clapbacks, we actually see a heightened level of laziness fueled by an ease of access to common information (Sadly, this laziness is both mental and physical in the U.S.). Deep thoughts and originality are difficult to find so I have decided to refrain from the current practice of laziness and I have re-purposed this site as one that relays bits of interesting information that are likely to be considered as uncommon knowledge. The common theme will be constructions of history, matters of national security, intelligence, terrorism, cultures, languages, some fitness, and societal influences. Enjoy!
