My blog is at http://kybernetikos.com
If you claim your blog, I will try to read at least a few posts and give you appropriate cred.

My interests tend to be writing, philosophy, computation, law, economics, game theory, but I enjoy talking and thinking about any wacky idea. When I can, I like to do in real life experiments most folks would do in their heads. I like to investigate the sources of information for myself.

I'm particularly pleased when I get (if I got...) cred for:
writing, thinker, intelligent, funny, interesting, thoughtful, openmindedness.

I think particularly highly of these qualities in others:
caring, intelligent, thinker, openmindedness, interesting, adventurous, poetic

But of course, I'll take whatever you give me gratefully :-)

We should act out of the conviction of our beliefs, but our acts must always be tempered by the awareness that we are certainly wrong about some of them and we don't know which ones.
