========================
Don't be shy about saying hello.
I like to know how people's opinions are different from mine, even if the issue is about me personally. So don't pull your punches.
Also, I am not easily offended, and I love an intelligent debate. Abstract away from the real world.
Dialog is my favorite method of learning, even if both speakers are just figuring things out. It keeps up the motivation, and the sharing of criticisms, knowledge and insights can be extremely helpful. So think aloud.
I am an AI person: computer scientist, cognitive scientist, philosopher (in no particular order). I have a strong need to make connections between my concepts, and I figure out interesting implications from little information. I love to make generalizations, comparisons, deductions, to create new concepts.
WHO AM I? (previous versions of myself that claimed to be me)
I am a geek of math, music and philosophy, and I try to pursue these interests on my free time. My latest thing is trying to build a system to allow me to watch my brain (neurofeedback). I am hardcore into AI, and I love playing improvisational music (bluegrass, jazz, blues, anything).

I am a materialist, reductionist, somewhat of a determinist
romantic.

I am a non-practicing atheist.

I am the master of the obvious. I see the stuff that everybody misses, because I have a natural tendency to focus on the small things. "Nitpicky" would be a good description. At the same time, I like to look at the big picture of things, because sometimes that's where the interest is.
The philosopher I identify with the most is Socrates: "I know that I don't know anything. That's why I know more than you do." But this is only because our world is so thoroughly filled with fallacy. I wish I were better known for my constructive ideas than for my skepticism.

I'm not a pervert. I'm creative.
