Just a city boy, born & raised in Bos-ton, MAss.... He took the midnight train, wiki'ing any-where....

I enjoy the science + the philosophy, as well as (attempting) to think deeply about what cognition/consciousness is. I find myself perennially looking for an integrated conceptualization of the cosmos, the fabric of reality itself. Something that is both "True" in a fundamental fashion and genuinely novel thought unique to me in some small way, although I'd clearly be looking out from a vantage point atop the shoulders of giants. Perhaps an indication that I exist(ed) and did not leave this life unexamined. But mainly I'd just like my daughter to be proud of her daddy (for something or other anyway lol).

Aside: So very tragic, that such droves of people hate each other to the point of refusing to have any real dialogue or fruitful cooperation.... perhaps even thinking nothing of killing one another every now & again.... all of them possessed by one foolish ideology or another; in desperate hope that they do, in fact, belong somewhere in this universe. Doomed from the start! It's falling into a psychological trap that hijacks our evolutionary 'social wiring' so to speak. The more that this unconscious shadow is brought to light, the better life will be for all humanity. But such a huge paradigm shift is arduous, difficult to achieve, fraught with pitfalls, might not even take off whatsoever--then continuing as we are, we kill off our own species & probably a bunch of others in a predictably dumb fashion. 'Game Over' for the last surviving species of walking, talking hominid primates of Earth. But the universe is big, however, with trillions of stars and planets on which to run the experiment of life. "Try, try, try again" as the saying goes. So spread the Good Word and keep them fingers crossed!
