Six months

I’ve been working on a new project for six months. Didn’t expect that to happen. It’s slightly more academic in nature than the SWI e-book, though the SWI teaching fits within this framework quite well. Not sure why writing is so painful, but boy it’s never easy. Thankfully, I think the worse is over and a new video series is likely on the way.

Parmenides, the shaman

In his excellent book In the Dark Places of Wisdom, author Peter Kingsley explains that Parmenides, the early Greek philosopher credited with establishing Western logic, was more than just a boring rationalistic thinker. He, and other notable figures of his time, were mystical shaman-like figures. That’s certainly something I’d never heard of when learning about Greek philosophers in school.
