Deconstructing DJB

One of my friends and I consider to be one of the top minds in this country, just celebrated his brithday yesterday. I failed to greet him a happy birthday. Nonetheless, I deemed it wise to write this entry as an analysis of DJB or some know as Dean Jorge Bocobo.

For those in the know, DJB is not actually a dean of some law school. He just, well, was blessed by his parents by being anointed as a "dean". At first, I was one of those who thought he was truly a dean, seeing that in the academe, a dean is a honorary title.

Yet, the more I read of him, the more convinced am I that, indeed, he's a dean of the philosophical or even of the academic kind.

DJB writes with passion. He's passionate on almost everything particularly on (1) God/religion (2) Politics (3) Constitutionality and (4) idiocracy. He's a rational thinker, the kind that will debate you endlessly on logic, being versed on the rudiments of Hegelian, Kantian and in some ways, pratatorian logic.

DJB is a Nationalist. He's heart is in the right place. He defends the weak, fights the Strong and admires the Strongest. Briefly, I categorize him as a Modern Anarchist, albeit, grey hairs and all.

DJB is a Rightist. Though this category has all been erased from the modern political spectrum analysis, I believe that he's one of the nicest Rightist guy I have ever crossed swords with.

DJB is a Democrat. What he loves or probably understands so clearly is democracy. He's the promoter of the Wisdom of the Crowd, the way Nick of tingog.com thinks of it.

For all these tags, the most apt description of DJB is simply a man who loves life. He tries to deconstruct life and reality seeing that the main solution lies in fully understanding it.

Ah, cut all these crap. Happy birthday, DJB. May your tribe increase!
