Watch And Learn – Introduction (Additional Notes)

Page Preface

This is the final segment of the “Introduction” chapter of the Watch and Learn Project, summarizing some basic ideas related to the project and some of my thinking behind all this preliminary stuff.

The main index page for the project is here.

Additional Notes

It’s critical to note here: none of this is “about me.”  I’m going to spend some time at the top telling people who I am and what we’re doing here, but beyond that none of this has anything to do with any brand or promotion or like-n-share or clickbait.  I’m putting this out into the world because it needs to be there and I can put it there. 

I’m taking the time to do all this prefatory stuff because I know how history works and I want to do what I can to avoid having this work mangled, misinterpreted, or distorted in the future.  I’ve done my best to anticipate and answer any reasonable and substantive question within this work.

I am an activist and writer, among other things.  I am significantly supported in my life and work by my readers and those who consume and appreciate my content.  That fact is not relevant to any of the information I’ll present here, save that we all owe all my supporters a priceless debt of gratitude for believing in me and supporting my work lo these many years, so we could arrive at this point when we were truly needed.  They’ve been part of this, and inspired it, for many years before it became this document.

If you’re watching this on video this introduction is the second part of a much longer series.  If you’ve been following my work and know who I am, the ”Who I Am” video coming next is probably skippable; you know all this stuff. 

If you’re reading it, you’ll have the whole thing and can jump around as you please. 

In either case, I want to welcome you, and to apologize now in advance for what may seem to be a self-aggrandizing and rather curt introduction to who I am and what this is all about.  We’ll get through that bit of tastelessness as quickly as possible and move on to the meat of the matter.  I’ve got to walk a line with all this introductory stuff between covering as many bases as possible and keeping it brief.  Thanks for bearing with me.
