Animal Taggart

Animal Taggart is an American writer who forges new intellectual territory at the intersection of raw human experience and philosophical inquiry. As a founding executive of Meow Wolf, a serial entrepreneur, and a seasoned 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 in a deep, direct engagement with natural systems, unbound by academic convention. This approach, enriched by formal studies through University of New Mexico and Cornell University, as well as expertise spanning software engineering, wilderness medicine, fitness, and artistic creation in various mediums, yields insights that defy traditional intellectual frameworks.Taggart’s work weaves together Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, dismantling dogma to craft 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, delivered by a polymath who has thrived in diverse realms from art to technology to business. This fusion of philosophical rigor and real-world accomplishment positions Taggart as a unique and vital voice for those seeking truth beyond societal norms and comforting illusions.
