  “I've been interested in philosophy for many years. Have a blog called philosophyautobiography at blogspot. I know Tom's a skilled facilitator. Interested in naturalism since it's the dominant perspective in analytic philosophy and I use it.”

  “I respect science and especially mathematics, not because it's easy to me (because certainly it isn't), not because it's interesting, but because it follows a "code of ethics" that religion, politics, and businesses don't follow. Science=>Truth.”
