ABOUT THIS BLOG
This blog is an ongoing experiment in the search for meaning in life; as such, it will evolve, turn around in circles, go forwards, backwards, and project itself into some improbable futures. The posts are mostly satyrical in a gentle, compassionate way, aimed at trying to understand the deepest nature of reality, gardening, travel, science, popular philosophy and psychology, and pretty much anything else that catches my interest. Welcome; I hope you guys like it in here.
