- Dune, or specifically, the Litany Against Fear. Perhaps a personal account of my exploratory surgery before senior year of high school and how I remember saying it to myself...
- Philosophy and Cosmology, for example the Anthropic Principle (reference that recent review, was it George Ellis?) or inhomogeneous cosmological models and the Copernican Principle, how that’s often misunderstood to be the Cosmological Principle (or vice versa)
- I could always post something less-deep...
- Empiricism vs. Rationalism
- ‘Tween t-shirt’ controversy: http://thelook.today.com/_news/2011/09/12/7730480-forever-21s-latest-tween-t-shirt-infuriates-consumers-parents?GT1=43001 and jezebel article (maybe with discussion of PandA Diversity group)
- “Floating in the void between theory and observation” (clever idea? clever title at least)
- Faster-than-light neutrino or how the universe doesn’t make any sense
- Culture of superiority as expressed in Tea Party/media reactions to Occupy Wall Street movement, psychological tendencies to compare/rank yourself with others, sense in physics (and business?) that arrogance interpreted as being confident/knowledgeable…
- The Indra simulations and the meaning behind the metaphor of Indra’s net
So there we have it, a snapshot of thoughts about deep thoughts.
If you're curious about one of the topics or want me to write about it next, let me know! The idea that someone cares about something might get me to focus on it once I find myself wanting/having time to write non-research sentences... in, let's say, April? :-/
