Animal Taggart

Animal Taggart is an American writer who forges new intellectual ground at the intersection of raw human experience, scientific, and philosophical inquiry. His work is best described as foundational natural philosophy from thermodynamic first principles. Taggart's approach is more Darwin than Newton: observing patterns and building conceptual frameworks, using AI to formalize mathematical rigor. The insights are his; the precision is collaborative. He is largely self-taught.As a founding executive of Meow Wolf, a serial entrepreneur, and a wilderness leader, Taggart draws on an unusually diverse reservoir of personal experience to shape his philosophical vision.Decades of exploration in the American Southwest and Rockies ground his writing and investigation in a deep engagement with natural systems. This approach, enriched by formal studies through University of New Mexico and Cornell University, as well as years spent in software engineering, wilderness medicine, fitness, and artistic creation in various mediums, yields cross-domain insight.Taggart’s work weaves together science, Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, with a distinctive voice that probes ontology, power structures, and the unfiltered human psyche in service of "truth as orientation."His writing blends raw autobiographical candor with sharp social critique. This fusion of philosophical rigor and real-world accomplishment makes Taggart a unique and vital voice for those seeking truth beyond societal norms and comforting illusions.
