Hi Bryan, I have just discovered your excellent embodiment website and was wondering if you still update it (the last post was January: I feel like I missed the party). Either way, it’s a really nice blog (as is Meanering with Intent)!

Tom,
Unfortunately, no, I do not still update it. I would like to, and I still have intentions for it. But right now I just simply don’t have the time for it. I’m too spread thin writing elsewhere.
Thanks so much for reading it, though. For the time being, it’s just a lack of time and funds for it. I’ll let you know if and when I continue with it, though!

Thanks Bryan, it’s still a useful resource so I won’t hesitate to link to it when I next post about embodiment.

I read your blog for the first time today and found it very thought provoking. You cast the Republican Party as the villain but never mention the Democratic Party. I understand that the blog was written in the early days of Mr. Obama’s presidency but wouldn’t you agree that his bail outs put him squarely at the head of the line as chief villain and the one person that needs to be voted out of office? Secondly, do you not see a differance between capitalism and corporativism? I look forward to more thought provoking blogs in the future. Thank you.

Bryan, though I do not exactly agree with your list of 20 “most important” philosophers, but I appreciate your attempt.
Beyond that, I am glad to learn that not only you have a good mind, but also the spirit of an activist who cares about environment, sustainability and international politics. I hope the best for you.
Peace,
Edip
