What I do
I'm a research fellow in the Institute of Philosophy at the University of London. I'm also the proud maker of PhilPapers.
My dissertation defends a theory of consciousness I call virtualism. Virtualism is akin in spirit to representationalism. It's a theory that's aimed at providing a formal framework for describing states of consciousness.
Some papers (direct from PhilPapers)
My PhilPapers categories
PhilPapers categories I edit personally:
My favorite software
- LyX - The Document Processor Write Latex documents painlessly while using all of Latex's most powerful features. Available on all major operating systems.
- Vim - The Editor  The ultimate text editor. Some practice might be required before taking full advantage of it, however. All usable OSes supported.
- Ubuntu - Linux for human beings Okay, it's harder to use as a toy than OSX or Windows (still can't get that webcam to work..). Still, it's a more powerful tool for serious stuff in the hands of the right user.
