Hello

Ruminant Natural Philosophy is my new blog about the thoughts that wander through my head on topics from metaphysics to politics, with excursions to educaton and various sciences, especially psychology and child development, and possible outbreaks of fiction and/or humor. 'Ruminant' because I'll be ruminating. 'Philosophy' because I think it is crucial to decide what is important versus what is not. 'Natural' because "natural philosophy" was the name for what we now call science up until a few hundred years ago.

If you feel like commenting, go ahead. If you don't feel like commenting, go ahead. As a reader of Laozi, I am a big fan of non-action, so I am happy to let the rest of the universe do what it is doing while I do what I do.
