About The Spoondrift

From the publisher's feed

Let's talk about science, philosophy, and the weird idea that popped up the other day. Here on the Spoondrift, the conversation spans a little bit of everything. The word Spoondrift describes that spray of water that a strong gust of wind blows from the tops of the waves. I talk about the spoondrift from the ocean of ideas. The goal is to unearth new perspectives and inspire curiosity.
