About Me
I got into philosophy not because of philosophy. I pursued academic writing for a while but was indifferent to the genre. I studied the story of university education as we know it and thought, something has gone seriously wrong. I worked in academic publishing and believed I had become lost. Lots of nots and negatives. Then I was found; time to get away from this.
People say that it is a bad idea to do it your own way, but I am not convinced that you have a choice. People say that, if you do this, you are listening to a different drummer. But I say there is only one drummer to listen to and cannot explain why we are not all on the same road.
Education
Thinkers I have made a real effort to understand (I cannot vouch for the result)
The above is some kind of unscientific & probably pointless fusion of amount of work read times effort made to fathom it
