The essays, which first appeared on staetconsidera.substack.com, explore two of our natural thought processes - the plodding, careful logic which forms the foundation of STA and the soaring speculations of imagination.
 
Wild thought - not dictated by past authorities, nor indentured to serve a future goal; thought revelling in the present and free of any duty to be useful takes us off the main drag of convention and into open country for our open mind.
