Mission
Freedom is the pleasure of doing what you want, which is most fully achieved in state of mindcoolness, a state wherein intellectual, emotional, and spiritual strength (reason, tranquility, and awareness) prevail.
Dominic Reichl, the author of Mindcoolness, writes about four main topics:
- Life, Truth, Reality
- Brain, Mind, Cognition
- The Good, Useful, Valuable
- Personal Development, Masculinity
For a quick introduction, I highly recommend you to read the Glossary, which contains the essence of most ideas discussed on this blog.
Above all, this blog is a public meditation on interesting ideas. Some ideas are also useful, others might be stupid—sorry for that. I encourage you to point out any folly, error, or bias you find on this blog, although inconsistencies may merely represent changes in perspective associated with different phases in my personal, philosophical, and spiritual development.
