Friends,
I’m working feverishly on the final few posts regarding consciousness, AI, and what we know (and do not) about human intelligence and identity.
In the meantime, I’ve seen that we’ve had a few new subscribers, so I wanted to do a quick orientation to our community.
Our goal here is to explore timeless wisdom through the lens of philosophy. We have readers in 29 countries who span a range of interests and curiosities.
Philosophy is the common tool that helps us to discover ourselves and uncover the world around us.
By no means do you need to be a “proper” philosopher to join, in fact that is kind of the point! TPP was built to democratize and simplify access to the wisdom teachers and traditions of history that typically remain relegated to the ivory tower of academics.
TPP is, at its core, public philosophy.
And the more of you that join the richer our discussion and perspective becomes.
To that end, whether you are a new subscriber or have been around since the beginning, I wanted to make sure everyone had easy access to our archive.
The best way to use the archive is by utilizing the search bar at the top to find what interests you the most.*
Also note that most of these archived newsletters include an audio version, just look for the headphones icon!
(Don’t see what you’re looking for? Leave a comment and I’ll be sure to cover in an upcoming newsletter!)
You’ll notice that it’s been an incredibly diverse journey.
During our first week at TPP way back in 2021, we started with Compassion opening with the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, Daoism, and Stoicism.
Since then we’ve studied everything from Language, to Ethics, Mindfulness, Impermanence, and Happiness (to name just a few!)
There are so many use cases for the search feature from personal to professional. A few months ago I even helped a local college professor use the archive to finish out their syllabus and build a few lessons plans!
I hope you too can find usefulness and joy in all that we’ve covered together so far, and look forward to being back with you again shortly to finish our series on AI and consciousness.
Until then my friends, be well.
