Promises Made, Promises Broken

I started this blog nearly three years ago.
I laid out the course of learning I was embarking on with a blog to accompany it.
Some blog posts were created, more were promised but never materialized.

Oddly enough, it isn't because I am off the subject. On the contrary.
I am more focused and dedicated than I was nearly three years ago.
It's the writing part that let me down.

So what have I been up to?
Getting a better grounding in the history of philosophy, the history of the civilizations,
never mind digging further into evolution and origin of life ...
I wouldn't say I am there yet, but I feel a lot more comfortable in what I know.

I have decided to split the subject matter into three different areas.

Philosophy and the brain. This century is seeing a exponential increase in knowledge in the fields of neuroscience and human behavioural biology, not to mention artificial intelligence. This leaves us with an interesting backdrop for a journey into philosophy.

Evolution and the brain. The brain is an organ with 150 million years of physical evolution. But what about the thought evolution of a brain with increasing language capabilities?

The big picture of evolution. Starting from the Big Bang and all the way into the future, leaving our usual human-centric approach behind.

The next three posts will provide more detail for each area.
New promise made ... let's see what happens!
