Why This Blog Exists

Every time I begin a significant academic research endeavor (culminating in a final paper), I create a blog as a forum for hashing out my raw ideas before committing anything to paper.  As a result, many of the ideas floating around on this blog are less-than-fully formed.  But that’s okay.  In fact, that’s the point.  I find that  blogging beforehand drastically improves the quality of the final product.

If you stumbled upon this blog by accident, you probably won’t find anything of interest–unless you happen to enjoy swimming in streams of consciousness about the philosophy of artificial intelligence.
