Leslie Allen curates a blog at : http://www.rationalrealm.com
Following a lifelong interest in science and philosophy, Leslie created the Rational Realm web site with the primary aim of kindling the same spirit of inquiry in others. Rational Realm's point of difference with the plethora of web sites devoted to human knowledge and behaviour is its focus on the application of reason to intellectual and ethical problems. Rational Realm digs deeper by exploring the nature of reason and how we apply it in our belief systems and moral discourse.

With people's personal beliefs and our socially shared paradigms demonstrating such bewildering diversity, Rational Realm seeks to deconstruct many of the irrationalities of our time. Revealed religions, paranoid conspiracy theories and alternative medicine each possess a kernel of truth in their respective world views. Each lends credence to the veracity of personal experience and a mistrust of entrenched authority. The intriguing puzzle that Rational Realm thinkers investigate is the points at which each of these belief systems go off the rails.

In this vein, Rational Realm authors explore the nature of reality, the norms of rational belief and how we apply them to our favoured ideas. For some, their investigations take them to the limits of reason revealed at the cutting edge of scientific research. Physics, cosmology and cognitive psychology show the world and ourselves to be much more complex and mysterious than the simplistic dogmas of religion and superstition will have us believe. These thinkers explore the counterintuitive world of quantum mechanics and relativity and discuss how the human mind constructs reality. Black holes, the multiverse, quantum entanglement, out of body experiences, mass hysteria and the illusion of free will are just some of the mind-bending mysteries that engage Rational Realm thinkers. We invite you to share your experiences, contribute to the discussions and join us in learning about our mysterious and wonderful universe.
