Mathematics undergraduate in Washington State. Primary interests: skepticism, crusading atheism, modern American poetry (1900 onwards), philosophy, post-rock, math, the joy of satire.
Currently reading: The Palm at the End of the Mind - Selected Poems of Wallace Stevens. I also recommend anything by Cormac McCarthy although the Orchard-Keeper is kind of overwrought. The Life of Reason by George Santayana is a good read if you can find it and remain skeptical of his political quietism (great material for atheists in Reason in Science and Reason in Religion). On the opposite side of the spectrum, The Open Society and Its Enemies by Karl Popper is a great moral tract, but Popper sometimes drops the ball, authorship-wise.
Currently listening: Sigur Ros, Tortoise, 65daysofstatic, Cat Power, Elliot Smith, GY!BE, A Silver Mt. Zion, TV on the Radio, the Arcade Fire, Rufus, Pat and Dan, Velvets, Queens (of the Trust-Fund? fuck the Dwarves). Trying to get into Kyuss, Desert Sessions, and BB some more thanks to exposure by an old friend.
