What is reality? |
These are questions that need answers, but before we can deal effectively with the last two we must answer the first two. This website serves as a nexus for those who wish to explore the truth about what is, how it works, and what that means for our individual lives, as well as our societies. This is a place for joyous serendipity and deep consideration of well-founded ideas, informed commentary, and relevant evidence. It is a place for serious scholars, researchers, and students devoted to specific areas or transdisciplinary studies. For those who enjoyed the movies "Mindwalk" and "What the Bleep Do We Know", this is the place to take such ideas and discussions to the next level: a systematic philosophy. By using all the skills of reason to balance the sciences with the desire for meaning as expressed in various forms of belief, it is possible to travel a figurative yellow-brick road to the place where we will find the answers we seek about ourselves and how to live. |
| These are some of the areas of research and discussion: | |
