On the Importance of Understanding the First Delphic Maxim [part 2]
CT: People like Benjamin and I (not the scientists or the astrophysicists) could save the heirs of Ancient Hellas, if only they would listen to us. To paraphrase Kubrick’s magnum opus, I would say our autobiographies are odysseys into inner space (anyone who undertakes that journey is transformed, much like David Bowman). Benjamin Power: I had one of those impetuous young zoomers I seem to have influenced a little write to me recently out of the blue, saying (I’ll quote smal

On the Importance of Understanding the First Delphic Maxim [part 1]
CT: It was Voltaire who said he no longer wanted to read history books that focused solely on dates, geographical locations, wars, or the names of kings; but rather on what daily life was like in those times, on personal diaries, and so on. We live in a Neanderthal era in terms of our understanding of the human soul, which includes history, academic “psychology,” traditional religions, and new cults. No one knows themselves. They all violate the inscription of the Oracle of

The Less Than Jolly Heretic, 4th Edition [introduction]
Introduction Thank you in advance for finding a copy of this all-new fourth edition. This book has been through many abortive iterations, starting in mid 2023, but I hope this can be the definitive release. I have trimmed out all details that could be considered superfluous, eccentric, or self-indulgent, and those that were temporally relevant to the past years and are thus now expired, and have otherwise bulked out and refined all of the chapters, adopting a more professiona

Chapter Four: New Paradigms of Consciousness Note: I could not transcribe all of the mathematical sections in the original document to my blog-space so some areas of this preview are left incomplete; the symbols marked: [unavailable]. Also, I've corrected all the typos, missed punctuation, and formatting errors in the finished print document. It is perhaps better to forgo the bio-reductionist paradigm in cognitive science altogether, given the advances provided by Mario Ji
