I know it's been a long time, but I'm returning once again to inhabit my misspelled persona. Good afternoon, friends. It's good to be back.

I'm now a philosophy student at the University of York, England, with a prediliction for existentialism, zen, stoicism and epicureanism. Aside from that, I find karate, hide and seek, fellwalking and reading Solzhenitsyn more fulfilling than drunken parties.

Where, in life, will this take you? I mean, are there many job openings for philosophers? :shrug:

Just step away from the controller Rimmer. Put it down slowly and step away with your hands up. :icon_lol:

I've tried to see how much there is in this statistic several times, and it seems to be a fairly reasonable guess at what the future will be like. After all, the power of the internet today would have been inconcieveable even a decade ago, and the pace of change can only increase. I have no idea what I'll be doing by the time I leave university (which could be seven years or more if I do a masters and a PhD), and neither can anyone else. In any case, I'm doing philosophy largely for the joy of it. The future can wait.

mean you know anything

taught
