We are particularly seeking cosmologists, physicists, biologists, cognitive and social scientists, computer scientists and technology scholars, philosophers, systems theorists, complexity theorists, and other scholars interested in exploring and critiquing models, hypotheses, questions and speculations relating to extent and interaction of evolutionary (or quasi-evolutionary) and developmental (or quasi-developmental) processes in the universe and its subsystems.
A Brief Note On Scope: Such topics as non-naturalistic orthogenesis or teleology, intelligent design, supernaturalism, theology, and science and spirituality convergence are outside the scope of our community. Hypotheses of directionality (systemic trajectory), orthogenesis (systemic improvement) and teleology (systemic purpose) may be discussed but only from a testable and naturalistic or developmental, not a supernaturalistic perspective. Transcendentalist (future of information, intelligence, mind or consciousness) and moral-ethical philosophical hypotheses and prescriptions should strive to remain grounded in known or proposed natural (physical, chemical, biological, cultural, technological) processes, and to explore empirical/measurable/testable implications of the precepts. Please see Themes and Questions for any other questions about the scope of the EDU community.
Privacy Notice: All personal information that is shared in the EDU-Talk community is confidential to the group. EDU-Talk follows the Chatham House Rule to encourage open discussion. You are free to publicly use any scholarly information discussed in EDU-Talk, but to encourage free discussion, neither the verbatim quotations of participants, nor the identity or affiliation of group members (attribution) may be disclosed outside the group without explicit consent.
