Intro

My name is Chris Davies and I like to consume information. This blog is the culmination of the information that I take in and the connections that I see as a result. My goal is to take in knowledge from all fields and perspectives and integrate them, providing connections and trends where I see them.

The name of the blog, "Age of Consilience", refers to the current age were in, where knowledge is openly flowing and freely available from everyone to everyone. Most new ideas are just variations on previous themes, the convergence of paradigms, the integration of perspectives. Most new ideas arise from consilience, or the multi-disciplinary culmination of knowledge. Thus none of these ideas are really mine, I'm just acknowledging what I find through my journey of self-education.

My hope is that readers see and understand the connections I make and add my perspective to their own, empowering their own pursuit of knowledge and contributing to the ever-expanding pool of ideas that proliferates our post-modern world.

Enjoy.
