CURRENT MISSION

Eating exotic fruits, primarily. Bring me fun ones if you're coming from the jungle.

ABOUT ME

I'm an agriculture volunteer in the Peace Corps, serving in a small village about 7k outside of Bangangté, on the road to Bafang. I live in the shadow of Mt. Batchingou and the Bana pass, which makes for some spectacular sunsets. I would rather have a funny and interesting friend than a dependable friend, although my best friends are both.

PHILOSOPHY

Egad, I was a philosophy major, and I still haven't sorted this out. Metaphysically, I'm an atheistic nihilist. Epistemologically, I'm sympathetic to American pragmatists, along with T. Kuhn and P. Feyerabend. Ethically, if you can make a decent argument for it, do it.
