Hey man, why not have a few "guest authors" write a little for you? That could help fill out the sections fairly quickly.

That's a pretty awesome idea, although I definitely wouldn't have an issue filling up the wordcount lol. I have enough problems every blog I write trying to downsize by about 300% and still end up rambling.

I'll definitely see if I can work this in somehow, as long as it fits my concept of a 'journey' with a fun tone. Love it. That being said I know very few people on here with any expertise in this area, and zero people in my real life =/

Well I think it's possibly more interesting if they aren't exactly experts in this particular field.

One thing that is definitely true across the board is that all life has a golden rule:

  1. Just survive.

That sets up the emergence of adaptation. Everything in our world is influenced by life. Adaptation, whether that's expressed by our agency or not can be extrapolated and assumed to have a humanistic teleological conclusion. Like you said, this stuff is mostly random, but it's hard to see it outside the context of having a "goal" because of our human lens.

That said, adaptation is present in many fields because it goes hand in hand with life. Whether that's sociology, philosophy, psychology, business etc.

Let me know if I can contribute in anyway. I'll give it a go if I have the time to do it.

I study neuroscience, computer science, and biology. I also like philosophy.

I posted half of a chapter's first draft here on Hive, figured you might want to check it out to get an idea of the tone I'm going for! Also feedback is appreciated.

I plan to attempt to contact some of the eggheads involved in the controversy to get some more direct insight but chances are always slim with the older generations' emails.

So if you still find it an interesting concept to get involved in, maybe I can shape the future parts around that idea! Maybe get some others such as @agmoore involved too

I'll give it a read. My only bottleneck is that I'm maxed out on hours. I'll let you know my man.
