Hi all — it's been a while since I've been able to regularly post to this blog, but it's time to get back into the swing of things. I've missed it!
Back in March of 2022, I announced that I was going to be starting an Evolutionary Philosophy Circle with David Sloan Wilson's non-profit group called Prosocial World. Then, in August of 2022, I mentioned that I was moving to Vienna with my wife who had received a job with the United Nations. Those have both gone very well and I'm settling into a good groove now but these things sure have kept me super busy. Especially since we've had over 20 visitors to Vienna since we moved here who were excited to see this amazing city. Und, mein Deutsch ist jetzt nicht sehr gut, aber ein bisschen besser jeden Tag!
What I didn't mention before is that I have also been redoing my entire house in England, essentially taking everything out of it in order to reconstruct it as a modern, environmentally friendly home that should be a great place for writing and relaxing some day. I've got a long way to go on the house (it basically still looks like the pictures above on the inside), but I realize now that this is a good metaphor for doing philosophy. Clearing out the old to make room for a new, logically-constructed layout using the best information we've got now. All in the hopes of creating an even better place for thinking. I've been fortunate to do this both figuratively and now literally.
I have several things to post about what I've been doing with the online philosophy group. I have a couple of new writing projects to share. And it's looking more and more like I'll have a major publishing announcement to make soon. But for now, I just wanted to get back in the swing of things and get these website muscles working again. Thanks for reading along and I look forward to reconnecting with you all soon. Please take the opportunity to tell me what you've been up to in the comments below. I'd love to hear!
