I’m 30, live in Sydney and work on image processing. I also have a wife and two beautiful daughters, currently nine months and two and a half years old.
I have a strong background in pure maths and an ongoing interest in philosophy. I’ve been a rationalist since before I even knew what one was. Discovering ET Jaynes’ “Probability Theory” was the closest thing I’ll probably ever have to a religious revelation.
I finally wrote down a large explanation of some quite fundamental philosophy I’d had in my head for quite a while and sent it to a couple of friends to get their opinion on it. This prompted one of them to point me here. Since then I’ve read quite a bit, although far from everything, and am enjoying almost every bit of it. I look forward to posting those very thoughts here some time soon, as they appear to still be both novel and consistent with the views here.
I thoroughly enjoy a good forum debate, and have a fairly high opinion (and at least some evidence to back it up) of my ability to think logically and write a well structured (if sometimes overly wordy) argument. Which of course doesn’t mean I’m always right, and, as a good rationalist should, there’s nothing I like more than having my argument torn to shreds by a superior one. I look forward to it happening in the near future.
