This is a slice of my philosophical, lay scientific, musical, religious skepticism, and poetic musings. (All poems are my own.)
The science and philosophy side meet in my study of cognitive philosophy; Dan Dennett was the first serious influence on me, but I've moved beyond him.
The poems are somewhat related, as many are on philosophical or psychological themes. That includes existentialism and questions of selfhood, death, and more. Nature and other poems will also show up here on occasion.

Yet another empirical swift kick in the pants for Charles Murray and “The Bell Curve”
Romanian children moved from orphanages to foster care show a 12-15 point gain on IQ, if placed before the age of 2.
So much for that high heritability of “q,” a mythical intelligence factor that’s never even been proven to exist.
