kybernetikos

User since March 10, 2007

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 :-)
