Some title, huh? When you phrase it like that, it sounds full of erudition and exclusivity. Good thing that’s just for fun. These essays are basically all of the philosophy I was able to publish in journals (and magazines, and books) during my fairly short career as a philosopher, before I got bored with that and shifted gears into science and technology to apply some of this stuff.

My work around language and in the cognitive sciences in particular has simply led to a fascinating enrichment of my life in general – I’ve learned to live without most of what I wanted back when I was studying this stuff, but the knowledge on its own just for the sake of knowing has turned out to be very rewarding even in a financial sense. The limits of language, the patterns of psychology. These are good things to know about oneself, about one’s limitations.

Here is a collection of essays (all free-to-read and made of NFTs) that I’ve published in different places over the years in chronological order.1.

Omitted from this list: “The Plague and the Plague,” (Philosophy Now Magazine, summer 2020). This was an essay, unfortunately, plagued by errors – I wasn’t able to review the edited copy, because we were rushing it, and I guess one of the editors made some haphazard modifications because when it came out, it was like someone else had written the piece. It was bad enough, in fact, that I actually published my draft to Medium.com so the world could see I knew Camus’ book was about the bubonic plague, and not a cholera outbreak.
