Until the end of 2008, I had wanted to specialize in philosophy of mind in my academic career.

Artificial intelligence is a concept that I find entirely. Come to think of it, that’s a probl...

A brief post today, a further elaboration on some of the ideas in You Were My Friend. For which tickets are available. It’s relatively spoiler-free, but even these spoilers won’t really be such, because all I’m going to describe of them is that they exist, not precisely how or why the scenes shift as they do.

The everyday contributions of a multi-disciplinary writer and researcher to his own projects. It’s Only Newfoundland I: Napoleon Complex, A History Boy, 09/08/2015.

I’m home now. Shouldn't complain about your office job. Last week...
