The Prisoner
I have a weakness for old science fiction stories and television shows. I agree with Tom Paris (from Start Trek: Voyager ), who enjoys old Flash Gordan-style entertainment because it shows us what the future used to be like. Now that we live in the future, ...

Clash of Clans From A Way Too Analytic Perspective
As a very obsessive person, I have to be quite careful about what games I try. When I was in graduate school, I had to quit playing speed chess cold turkey because it started to interfere with my work. I made a terrible mistake recently by trying "Clash of ...

Care and Feeding of Young Nerds
You may be responsible for the care and feeding of a young nerd. Maybe you're a parent and you are beginning to suspect that your child is developing into a nerd, or maybe you're a teacher, or even just an adult who is around young, impressionable nerds. If...

How Bias Against Women Persists In Philosophy Departments
If you say something controversial about a subject, and the facts are complex, and supported by detailed and subtle chains of reasoning, you should expect a calm, rational response from someone who disagrees with you. But on the other hand, if you say somet...

我的故事

個性宣言

Software Engineer at Narrative Science. Former academic philosopher.

自我介紹

I am a software engineer at Narrative Science. Until my recent escape from the ivory tower, I was an Associate Professor of Philosophy (specializing in logic, game theory, decision theory, and other topics that go "crunch!"). I love transforming a squishy, ill-defined problem into a nice, crunchy technical problem, and then crushing it with formal theory and computing power.

輝煌事蹟

Invented the phrase, "You can't handle the truth!".

教育背景

University of Wisconsin-Madison
Philosophy (PhD), 1996 - 2002
Western Michigan University
Philosophy, 1990 - 1996
