Kevin R. Harris is an American descendant of formerly enslaved, African people. He was born and raised in the Chicago housing project whose notorious reputation originally inspired a young lawyer named Barack Obama to try to make a difference as a community organizer.

Despite his humble beginnings and ongoing marginalization as an American Untouchable, Mr. Harris has enjoyed a lengthy professional career solving his various employers’ complex business and technology problems. He has come to regard his day job as the pragmatic diversion that honed the precocious intellect and creativity of his youth into the personal process that guided his analytical prowess through his quest to quench his lifelong thirst for rational answers to the existential questions surrounding our origin, purpose, and destiny.

His ultimate success in this existential engineering endeavor required a deep, autodidactic immersion into the disciplines of science, philosophy, and spirituality. He emerged from this existential baptism with: knowledge of quantum mechanics and the theories of both general and special relativity exceeding that of most philosophers and theologians; an understanding of ontology, epistemology, and Theory of Mind surpassing that of most scientists and theologians; and insights into the Abrahamic, Dharmic, and Taoic spiritual traditions deeper than those of most philosophers and scientists.

Mr. Harris assembled the wisdom he uncovered during his search for objective rational answers into modal idealism, a framework comprising a set of logical principles that seamlessly integrate our most enduring schools of existential thought. As the summary of this integration, A Concise Theory of Truly Everything represents the theoretical distillation of the fruits of his metaphysical labor, which heralds the intoxicating future of ontological, teleological, and eschatological thought.
