ABOUT ME
Easy-going, laid-back, and at times determined. I'm trying to get my life "right", but realise that focussing too much on that often means getting it wrong. I like philosophical puzzles and paradoxes, and have just spent a post-doctoral research year trying to study some logical aspects of them. Finally realised that i'm happier doing more down-to-earth stuff though, at least for a bit.
PHILOSOPHY
"rationality of thought imposes a limit on a person's concept of his relation to the cosmos" -- John F. Nash Jr (i.e.: "keep it real")
