  1. As part of my research for an upcoming book chapter, I have begun reading in earnest G.W.F. Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit.

    For my sins.

    Good Grammar Is Went

    I think it's because most people respond with "I'm good" (although I think 'good' has come to be accepted colloquially).
  3. Maintaining a website isn't all the fame and glory it's made out to be. 🤔 Updates, troubleshooting, and server migrations - not to mention work assignments, tutoring, and research - have kept me quite busy for the past while, so apologies for not writing here sooner. In the holiday season blogs are pretty much the last thing on people's minds, but I wanted to post some brief updates. First of all, congratulations to Keigan for scoring in the 95.5th percentile on his STAT exam! I wish I could take the credit as your tutor, but in the end it was all you! Keigan is now looking at universities to study corporate law. Feel free to stop by his profile and congratulate him! LiquidFractal also welcomes its third academic group to the fold in the new year: the Dialectical Realism Research Group, headed by Brendan Cartmel. I anticipate there will be more information on this research group coming up early next year. I've also added several features to the site, which I'll talk about when I have the time. In the interim, I'll just wish everybody happy holidays and a wonderful new year from LiquidFractal.

  8. PS I love slides 8,9, and 13. 13 is about as economical as it gets!
  9. Well our transition month is September. There's a 21st century saying that if you really want to know what someone is really like, watch how they react to the internet being down. My poor wife 😐
  10. I remember a couple of interesting buildings in Toronto (some residences as that mutant growth on ROM) but apart from that I found Toronto kinda dull. Melbourne on the other hand has some great architecture on Swanston north tut toward UniMelb and I always enjoy walking around there .

    Frankston Mural Art, Big Picture Fest 2018

    As part of the $63M Frankston Station Precinct Redevelopment Project, Frankston's Big Picture Fest featured 7 headline and 29 local artists. According to the Frankston City News (May-June 2018, p. 12) 1100 cans of spray paint and 300L of bucket paint were used over a week to adorn otherwise dull city walls with works of art. Where possible, I've included pictures of the whole artwork with background for scale, as well as details/closeups.

  21. Hello, LiquidFractal is pleased to welcome the Complex Processes Research Group, based in Swinburne University, Melbourne, Australia! The CPRG is a reading and research group centered around the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Peirce, but the intellectual history of process philosophy extends further back to Friedrich Schelling as perhaps the first process philosopher. Process philosophy essentially emphasises becoming and unfolding over rigid, static paradigms, and is sometimes marked by a desire to reconcile the various aspects of human experience (scientific, religious, political) into a coherent, holistic whole. As to what this "whole" ultimately looks like and how it functions, well, that will be the subject of many, many interesting discussions to come. A warm welcome to the CPRG at LiquidFractal! For more information, please visit the CPRG Space.
  22. Hmm...well, not tech savvy in this respect but we go with IPVanish here. Sometimes the servers cut out but the service is generally reliable. As with so many Internet-related things, I think the best thing to do is go with reviews.
