The Best of the DT Strain Blog

For those who are new to the DT Strain Philosophy Blog, this page should provide a running list of the best posts (according to the author) for purposes of catching up. They are chosen based on (1) how much original thought of my own is present in them, (2) how important the concept is to the overall focus I'd like my work to represent, (3) how entertaining or interesting I think the post is. All listings are in order of posting.

Other ways to enjoy the blog would be to do a search on particular topics, such as: ethics, religion, Humanism, complexity, consciousness, Buddhism, ect.

Please note, this is a list of blog posts only. It does not include the often-longer essays from the DT Strain Philosophy site (a different site from the blog), which can be viewed on its own, by the table of contents on the right.
