Yeah. I was sitting in my PHIL 101 class way back in the day and was like, "Wait, this argument doesn't work because it assumes too low a level of computational complexity." Made for a great paper.

I also took some advanced creative writing courses. I was the only science major in my Novella class. So of course I wrote sci-fi. Had the most original story out of the group.

Reminds me of Peter Watts. Educated as a marine biologist, writes hard sci-fi for a living. Seems to have a very cynical world view to boot. The latter could be in part because he is apparently a trouble magnet.
