After thinking a lot as a child about the universe around me, I came to read The Conscious Mind: In Search of a Fundamental Theory by David Chalmers which turned out to be one of the most interesting books I have ever read. I realized that philosophy was a field that would challenge my mind and make me think about the world I live in. My love of philosophy grew for the same reasons I grew to love science. They both strive to find answers about our universe and existence. Philosophy also explores ethics and morals in a non-religious manner which is very interesting to me. My main concentration of studies have centered on Philosophy of Science, Phenomenology, Existentialism, Philosophy of Mind and Consciousness Studies. I would someday like to get a PhD in the latter two. For many years I have been involved in activism and the fight for human rights. Because of my background in politics and philosophy and my knowledge of modern science I was invited to become an intern with the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies which is a think tank that was formed to study and debate vital questions concerning the ethical issues that future technologies will raise for the human mind. I specialize in troubleshooting computer software and hardware issues, teaching people how to make the most of their personal computer, as well as building websites. I have been self employed in this field for over 10 years. Another passion I have developed is photography. I am currently living in Connecticut. I am seeking a challenging position that will utilize my critical thinking skills acquired from my studies in philosophy. |
