Hi all! I am a 23 year old Singaporean student studying Computer Science in the United States. I’m interested in Psychology, Statistics, Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Politics, and some other things. It is an exciting time to be young! I’m really looking forward to space elevators, and I’m still curious to see how quantum computers would change things. In the mean time, people’s lives are being molded by the increasing amounts of available information that is presented in a way that is relevant to them. I am excited to see what the world would be like in 10, 20, 30… years. But for that to be a good time to be alive, my opinion is that peace is essential. Rising inequalities is making me a little worried about that, and I’m still reading up on it.
Trying to think logically as much as possible has always been a big part of me. I honestly can’t remember when I really started—from the kid who asked many questions, to the kid who asked strange questions, to the teenager who blogged really long posts, to a young man who’s sometimes “too logical”—I really can’t remember any single event during which I became dramatically more inclined to think logically. I have to admit though, despite my inclination, I only did become more logical after the Knowledge and Inquiry course that I took in grade 11 and 12. I still think of it as the best course I have ever taken. I’ve put down my thoughts sporadically on my blog, which I’ve linked in my profile.
I would have joined this site earlier had I heard of it sooner. The articles make great readings. Having been accused of spamming people’s facebook walls when I had gotten myself into debates several times, I’m really glad that there is a place where people are serious about having discussions that reach somewhere. Thank you so much to you all for making this work.
