Greatest Blog Hits
Most of my blogging so far has been done in a very structured manner—following along the path of how I've written my philosophy so I can introduce it and discuss it in a step-by-step manner. I really do want this philosophy to grow, compete, adapt, and survive though, so I thought I'd make it as easy as possible for new readers and fellow thinkers to find the item they're most interested in discussing. Take a look at the picture maps below and follow the links to any item you'd especially like to read or talk more about. I always look forward to hearing from you!

Tenets
These are the 10 fundamental beliefs that underlie the basis for my philosophical worldview. They aren't really carved in stone tablets (this is just photoshop after all), but they are the strongest statements I can make about the universe and our place in it so it would take some serious debate to change any one of these. That said, I welcome such debates and hope we can each learn something through them. You can read the 10 statements by themselves on my tenets page, or you can click below on these single-word descriptions of them to see a blog post about each one where you can enter your own comments on the subject.

Know Thyself
The most famous of philosophical mandates, but how exactly do you know where to look for this knowledge? Well, one way is to simply follow this handy map. In each of its sections, there are links to blogs where I discuss my own contemplations of these topics, applying the tenets that I have developed. What about you? What else do you know about thyself? Do you have a different map? Click on the links below to find the appropriate blog where you can share your thoughts.
Survival of the Fittest Philosophers
Over the course of a year, I ran weekly blogs about the 60 most famous philosophers in history. Using the objective basis for morality that I discussed in my peer-reviewed journal article, I analysed each of the philosophers to see if their major ideas "survive", "need to adapt", or have "gone extinct." Based on these analyses, I made a partly subjective / partly objective ranking of all 60, which placed them into six major categories that you can see in the chart below. To read the short synopsis of these rankings, see my capstone article summarizing my findings. To read more about any individual philosopher, find their ranking below and click on their name or picture for a link to my blog post about them. What do you think? Do you have a different ranking? Send me an email to share your thoughts.

Thought Experiments
From March 2015 until November 2017, I blogged about each of the entries in Julian Baggini's book: The Pig that Wants to Be Eaten (and 99 other thought experiments). The end result was a fully philosophically-generated worldview, which I wrote up in a long summary. Baggini's thought experiments were randomly ordered, but you can go through them logically by clicking on the numbers below in order to generate your own worldview. I highly recommend that exercise. Disagree with anything? Send me an email to share your thoughts.
