Welcome to Adventures in Thought Space! Here, you will encounter articles and discussions on philosophy (mainly epistemology) and science. This site is the brain child of three men of letters who've been brought together by a shared interest in philosophy, science, athletics, and a collegeial friendship with this man: Steve Bishko (a.k.a Bish).  

Bish was fiercely opinionated, autodidactic to a fault, and gifted with an inimitable wit. An MIT dropout, he was an engineer’s philosopher, eschewing the works of other scholars. He called his philosophy “Life Engineering” (think Kurt Vonnegut meets Nassim Taleb). A coach, tutor, uncle, mentor, and friend, Bishko's ideas live on through Adventures in Thought Space, and all articles herein are dedicated to his memory.  

We ask questions like: 

Why do people have beliefs and why do they believe what they do? How do they evolve within societies and fields? What are common mistakes in thinking and their origins? How can we improve our understanding of causality? How is heat mechanical when it seems like a fluid? Why is the force of a bullet measured by kinetic energy and not momentum? 

So we venture into thought space in an attempt to answer them. Let the adventures begin!

Intro to Extralogical Reasoning Part 3: Understanding Self-Ignorance: A Primer for Understanding Yourself and a World you weren't Designed to Comprehend

By
A sentient being is a specimen that can contemplate its existence and plan for manifold futures. Humans easily qualify as sentient and, therefore, are called self-aware. The common, and rather questionable, implication of awareness here is UNDERSTANDING. In part 2, I showed that knowing and understanding are by no means necessarily the same. To go from awareness to understanding is a rather big jump. But given the nature of evolution, it’s easy to infer that self-awareness, or ANY form of awareness, couldn’t arise in such a process without a species being preprogrammed to vastly overestimate it; and if that species were designed for any degree of self or general UNDERSTANDING at all, it would only be in the very narrow sense as pertains to SURVIVAL in their evolutionary environment--and ONLY in their evolutionary environment.    The feeling or belief in understanding and rationality is often as important as the real thing, both on the group and individual levels.

Complexity Theory and Extralogical Reasoning

By
Almost everything in this universe—from galaxies and clusters of galaxies to solar systems and planets, to climates and ecosystems to industries and economies—comes from things organizing themselves. They are SELF-organized. Most things can’t be understood by straightforwardly analyzing the parts/variables, like in math, physics, and engineering; only by accounting for unknowns and appreciating the complexity of the interactions BETWEEN variables can one hope to understand the rest of Nature. The former type of thinking is called reductive or reductionistic; extralogical reasoning calls the latter  scientific holistic thinking .   Complexity theory studies complex systems such as economies, ecosystems and their evolution, societies, and various related phenomena. If these phenomena are complex systems, then Nature and the World are, likewise, complex systems. The interactions between a psychology and the external World, in turn, make LIFE a complex system.    A compl...

Draugr City: An Epic Fictional Universe by NG Murphy

By
The following is an introduction to my historical vampire-like universe called Draugr City, not an essay. There are no prerequisites.         For years, I’ve been intrigued by vampire/mythical monster universes but have found them awkward and unintelligent. I’m obsessed with alternate-history and epic sci-fi world-building, but these genres tend to be inaccessible, dry, and overly expositional, sometimes barely qualifying as fiction. I love movies and comics, but their developers are constrained by the need for brevity, especially in the “microwave society” of today. And I always wanted to see a brand of mythical monsters (directly or indirectly) produced by extraterrestrial beings.    So I created an accessible supernatural-horror-like universe bottomed, instead, on an expounded science. It’s influences include the comic book series “League of Extraordinary Gentleman” by Allan Moore, the movie series “Underworld,”and the film “The Ninth Gate.”  ...
