About Me

Without intending shameless vaunter, I am widely recognized as history's greatest analytic philosopher. My intelligence quotient registers at around 200, thus placing me inside the ultra-exclusive "highest genius" bracket. I am a mathematician and a scientist. I briefly taught and collaborated with Alan Turing to help pour the logical foundation for digital computing, although Alan clearly had the larger impact on the computer world. After all, words are my primary philosophical concern. Since failing to produce a working system of psuedo-logical atomism, I have been trying to reduce the entire spectrum of philosophy into the analyis of "language games." As for my social character: I have an acute case of Asperger's Syndrome, and consequently I do not relate well to most people. I have lived much of my life in seclusion, but I am not all work and no play. In my free time I like to partake in the following activities: kite flying, Mediterranean cooking, Dance Dance Revolution, making beats on my personal computer, and writing and analyzing poetry.

My Interests

Threatening suicide, immaculate articulation, nude chess, Logical Positivism, chasing Karl Popper around the lecture hall with a poker, making beats with Fruity Loops, architecture, redecorating my Irish hut and singing a cappella

I love to read all of my own books. Even the Tractatus still gets me off. Other than that, I enjoy works from the Vienna Circle (ah, nostalgia), Gotlob Frege, Hilary Putnam, Gilbert Ryle, Saul Kripke, W.V. Quine, Soren Kierkegaard, and T.S. Eliot.

Heroes:

Bertrand Russell, Alan Turing, David Hilbert, Gottfried Leibniz, and no persons identical to Karl Popper
