Recently a friend engaged in a philosophical discussion with me asked why I would affiliate this site with Jediism, in name and in spirit. He suggested that the term "Jedi" evokes Star Wars, George Lucas, and a complex and possibly distracting set of science fiction and pop culture baggage—rightfully so. This led to some soul-searching and reflection upon the initial reasoning process that went into choosing a site domain. Perhaps it will be useful to share this perspective so that anyone who happens across this site and wonders why they are reading (hopefully) thought-provoking articles and forum discussions attached to a term that they previously saw only in Star Wars movies and fiction books will be able to review the reasoning that went into this choice of affiliation with Jediism.
