The Philosophers' Imprint, a freely available online refereed journal in philosophy. Remember kids, metaphysics is good for you!

I think of myself, in many ways, as a philosopher. I've never taken a philosophy class, let alone declared it as my major. And I'm woefully under-read in the area. But I find thinking about philosophical questions to be extremely enjoyable.

Over the years, mostly since I started college, I've developed, what seems to me, a fairly consistent philosophical world-view. In talking with my friend Lane, among the the brightest individuals I know, I've found myself able to support my claims with pretty good arguments. (Though she may not be pressing me hard enough!)

So, I feel the need to sort of formalize my ideas, write them down, and fill in the gaps. For now, let me make explicitly public some of my basic claims, and later, talk about some areas in my thinking that still need more thought.

Here's an interesting link on memetics that I'll talk about later. I find this concept interesting, from a socio-philosophical standpoint.
