I'm Rajesh. I am a thinkerer and a tinkerer. I studied mathematics, then cognitive science and then the anthropocene, but by inclination I am a generalist who works across fields and connect the dots.

Welcome to my house, as they say in some parts of the world. You can click almost anywhere and find something to read or explore. The second floor on Street Metaphysics might be a good place to start, where I talk about philosophy and literature across the Himalayas, both Indian and Chinese. Or what I call "Street Metaphysics." The first floor has investigations into planetary life (aka "Bhumics"); in particular, Habitability has been a big concern of mine of late, seeing as we are doing everything within our powers to make the Earth uninhabitable.

The Archive holds more than eight hundred essays. I also have links to work I am doing with others. Socratus is the organization I founded, a planetary studio that brings together tools and techniques from science, design and art to help citizens solve problems with others. Cellosophy is a much newer exploration of the origins of mind and cognition in single celled organisms.

Every room has trails. Pick a theme, read a piece, follow a neighbor or take the random twist. I haven't worked out where it begins or where it ends, so start anywhere.
