This is the project website for Ode (pronounced oh-dee), a personal publishing engine for the web. Ode is unique in that it is designed to be simple – not necessarily easy.
Simple means understandable (at least it does here).
Some of your assumptions (the things you accept as true or certain) are nothing but mistakes you made in the past that you didn't catch, and so never learned from.
For this reason, it's a good idea to questions your assumptions as often as possible.
Well that's a pretty short post for me.
Let's see what others have to say about assumptions. Here are some random quotations I pulled from the web:
One of the prevailing sources of misery and crime is in the generally accepted assumption, that because things have been wrong a long time, it is impossible they will ever be right. - John Ruskin
We now have a whole culture based on the assumption that people know nothing and so anything can be said to them. - Stephen Vizinczey
