All philosophers gravitate towards the central mysteries of existence:

• (particle physics) the smallest things;
• (cosmology and astronomy) the largest things;
• (neuroscience and computer science) the most complex things;
• (metaphysics and theology) ethics and the supernatural.

To go unmoored from the normal concerns of life and to gravitate towards any of the central mysteries is to be voluntarily or not a philosopher.

Eventually the results of such a life become obvious and can be recapitulated in a summary form such as this Mentifex Dossier on the legacy and vestiges of the Mentifex project in artificial intelligence.
