Philosophy isn't just abstract speculation—it's the operating system for how you interpret reality and make decisions. These articles explore fundamental questions about existence, meaning, and knowledge through the lens of far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics. The result is a philosophy grounded in physics rather than pure speculation.
Traditional philosophy often treats mind and matter as separate domains. But if consciousness emerges from complex thermodynamic processes, then the mind-body problem dissolves. If meaning arises from patterns of organization, then nihilism becomes incoherent. If knowledge is a form of negative entropy, then epistemology gets a physical foundation. These articles explore these connections.
We examine questions like: What is the nature of time? How should we think about free will in a deterministic universe? What makes something valuable? How do we find meaning in a cosmos that doesn't provide it? The answers aren't always comfortable, but they're grounded in how reality actually works.
If you're tired of philosophy that floats free of physical reality, these articles offer something different: a worldview that takes science seriously while still addressing the questions that matter most to human life.
