The Evolution of Perception

The Evolution of Perception & The Cosmology of Substance: A Simpler Theory of Everything – June 24, 2004.

Chris Ott considers our current philosophical problems to be the tragic result of psychological fallacies as old as Plato. He offers a new explanation for the universe that relies simply on an evolution of perception. His theory succeeds at accounting for the physical as well as the psychological--including mathematics, natural law, concrete objects, language, thought, and culture. A spellbinding journey to the roots of our assumptions.

A nice photo of me taken by my girlfriend at the time, Alison Fowler, right about the time I started writing The Evolution of Perception in 2003. Alison also took the photo on the book's cover.

Alison was not very supportive of my occupation with philosophy and we broke up shortly after. She did, however, graciously give me permission to use the photo for the cover.

Arthur's Confession to Nun | Red Dead Redemption 2

One of the most famous scenes near the end of Red Dead Redemption II and one of the best turning-point scenes ever made. It is the point in the game where the story earns its title -- often only seen after a year or more of playing when players are most immersed. Many people have said playing Red Dead Redemption II changed the way they live their lives.

Gesu Bambino - Amira Willighagen

In February 2023, on a trip to Europe, Amira Willighagen, along with her father Gerrit and her boyfriend DJ entered a church. Her father sat at the organ as DJ filmed Amira sing this spontaneous rendition of the Italian Christian carol Gesu Bambino on his cell phone.

A few months later, I had the privilege of meeting Amira in a small cafe in Rutledge, Georgia. The cafe was called Tomorrow Cafe. There I shot this two minute clip of her conversing with some people there about an upcoming performance as we waited for our food. She was 19 years old. She definitely had a vibe about her.

And here is Amira with her boyfriend at the time, DJ, who took the video of her singing in the church. She has a new boyfriend now.
