The Lispective
Hey there, and thank you for stumbling onto my page.I've always wanted to discuss matters I find important to me in a simple, easy to understand way where I benefit from it as much as any listener. Over time, I discovered that the things I wanted to discuss were broader than simply a 'one episode topic.' I also discovered that what I wanted to talk about were more than just one 'thing' (historical/philosophical/topical). Amongst conversations with others, I realised I wasn't alone in this. Most of us want to talk, to listen... to share, Especially regarding some of the matters I am keen to discuss.Cue: The Lispective. One lisper's platform to provide his perspective on things, and share others' along the way. It would be a pleasure to have you alongside on the journey
