Introduction to my book –MATTER OVER MIND: COSMOS, CHAOS, AND CURIOSITY

This reading is the first 5 pages of the introduction. Once you've heard (or read) this much, you can feel free to skip around in the rest of the book. I will eventually record the rest of the chapters as an audiobook, but for now, enjoy the introduction!
