On Why Science and Reason Are Necessarily Bookended by Intuition and Imagination

A book review of Iain McGilchrist’s 2021 Magnum Opus — I write book reviews all the time; with a good book, it is easy to find something to say.

Riveting, Scientifically-Rigorous, Gushingly-Poetic, Mournful, and Vibrating

With his new book, Environmental Journalist, Ben Goldfarb, will turn you too into an animist — I first heard about this book when I was reading the author’s previous text, Eager, about beavers. My initial response was, “do I really want to read a book about roadkill?” Eager is a book that will change your life; Goldfarb makes a bulletproof case for beavers being nothing short…

Perception is a Mutualistic Affair

Perception is a mutualistic affair. It is not a passive act. When perceiving, we are actively reaching out towards the other, filtering and processing what they share with us based on what channels and messages we anticipate they might have to offer. When you’re on psilocybin, one of the first…

Red, Black, White

Myth and Meaning in “A Branch from the Lightning Tree” — I’ve been skirting around the work of Martin Shaw for many years now.
