My name is John L. Taylor. I am a second year MA student in philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in philosophy of science and formal epistemology (esp. computational epistemology). My undergraduate degrees are in philosophy and psychology (with a minor in computer information systems) from Humboldt State University.
My non-philosophical interests include complex systems theory, social psychology, evolutionary psychology, evolutionary theory, perception, cognitive psychology, political theory, liberalism, propaganda, psychoceramics, the history of computing, and cognitive neuroscience.
I am culture junkie—both high and low. I spend more time than is decent reading feeds, newspapers, speculative fiction, journals, popular science, classic novels, and graphic novels (ok, they are comics). Film-wise, I am a sucker for ethnic family dramas, foreign films, anime, superhero movies, artsy independent films and political or scientific documentaries. I detest predictability in movies.
My musical taste includes jazz, breathy folk tunes, classic heavy metal, pop-punk, beat-box, circuit bending, turntablism, mixing, underground hip hop, mash ups, craggy ol' blues men, grunge metal, organs (in everything from Bach to funk), bebop, latin jazz, moody girl bands, jazz rap (aka jazz hop), Vivaldi, apocalyptic Wagner themes and the odd madrigal.
