ABOUT ME
Hey everyone, I'm /Thomas/, the creator of this website and author of the
written works found here. Here's a little about me:
My academic background is in Philosophy and
Cognitive Science. At the
end of my brief time in academics my interests were in Philosophy of
Mind, Logic, Language, Linguistics, Programming, and Cognitive Prostheses.
Now I am developing a career in Information Security.
I started training Martial Arts when I was 13; parents stuck me into it
after getting bullied a little bit. Self defense was soon no longer the
reason for my persistence in training, but rather it became more of a
lifestyle. It allows me to do something I don't normally get to do
which is to communicate with my body through action, not just thought.
It adds another layer of introspection as I strive to understand what
it means to be a human being.
The creation of this website is a step in the process of improving my
knowledge and skills for the advancement of my career, and quite
frankly, as a person as well. This blog is a medium for me to write
down my thoughts about the areas of which I am most passionate about.
Reflecting upon my thoughts reinforces the knowledge and insights I've
uncovered. Too many times have I been in a grappling position where I
'remember' techniques but have forgotten how to do them. I wish I could
grep my brain and output action. Reviewing my past beliefs also opens
the opportunity to identify my errors and consciously make corrections.
I have no doubts nor reluctance in the fact that as I gain more experience,
the status of my current beliefs can and will change.
