I think that most philosophical disagreements come from unacknowledged differences in assumptions and definitions. Breadcrumb philosophy is the idea that in order to truly understand our arguments, we can follow them back to their original assumptions and what the included terms mean. This is not a new idea and draws
The Adventures of Time Time is a polysemous thing with many activities. Time is causality, it is change, becoming, duration, succession, cycles, rhythm, temporality, time flows, time is now, present, futur and past. And sometimes mathematics tell us time is imaginary, an illusion, an arrow, a coordinate, a parameter t.
An Ode to Abstraction Growing up with colors and pastels in my hands, I spent a generous amount of years confused by other people qualifying my art as abstract. It was not until I looked at somebody looking at my painting that I understood from their gaze that we were
“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. One fancies a heart like our own must be beating in every crystal and cell, and we feel like stopping to speak to the plants and animals as friendly fellow mountaineers.
While metaphors love to roam free, some things are best kept in their box, or their context, it is especially relevant when we talk about presuppositions and referential systems in science. Metaphysical presuppositions are like power outlets—you can plug all kinds of tools into them, but only if you
Warm wind, Floridian streets, evening light, we are listening to a song on the radio. Note by note, each word following another, initially our attention is focused sequentially on the music. What would it look like if suddenly our attention could become larger, taking a step back from the unfolding
Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) was a Swiss-born polymath whose prolific output reshaped mathematics and physics. Despite going blind later in life, Euler’s memory and mental agility remained legendary. He continued to produce groundbreaking work at a remarkable pace, dictating complex papers entirely from memory. Few in history have matched
Nothing exists in isolation. From quantum physics to Bhakti Yoga, reality is revealed through relationships. In a world shaped by ego and bias, true meaning arises in connection—through listening, serving, and sharing.
I’ve been pondering a slippery question for some time now: What exists before a thing becomes a thing? It arose one quiet afternoon as I reflected on *information structures*. In physics we can sometimes hear that information precedes matter and form, or in the language of the dauntless physicist
There are so many landscapes out there - political landscapes, economic landscapes, even moral landscapes! But have you ever heard of the “string theory landscape”? I first heard about this when I was a physics undergraduate and it sent me into a little bit of an existential tailspin. In string
Throughout the history of philosophy, few debates have been as fundamental as the contrast between the Eleatic philosopher Parmenides and the Ionian thinker Heraclitus.
In the quest to understand the universe across all scales, certain concepts have sparked particular fascination during my early studies for their radical potential in foundational physics—among them, the idea of causation, holographic principles, relationalism, and nonlocality. What makes these ideas so compelling is that they speak directly to
