About Me
- Robert
- I am basically the least-electable white straight male you could imagine: pacifist, socialist, atheist, vegetarian, etc. I am someone who is interested in just about everything, spends most of my time thinking about politics, and thinks in a highly mathematical fashion. I tend to have a lot to say, so be forewarned, my posts are going to tend to be long. My philosophy on this blog, in the same spirit, is basically that when I have something I'm thinking about that I think is interesting, and especially when there's no one around to discuss it with in person, I'm going to post about it, sometimes in a fairly stream-of-consiousness-y way. Kind of like a hybrid journal/diary and blog.
