Favourite Class
A philosophy class called “Knowing and Being.” It was a study of epistemology, philosophical empiricism, and skepticism. I enjoyed advocating in favour of extreme skepticism, until I found that no debate was really possible against it. So, it may be preferable to just… conveniently leave that argument aside.
Educational Highlight
Spending my last year studying almost nothing related to my major: Medieval and Renaissance literature, the growth and structure of cities, and game theory. Those three topics play a larger role in my life today than everything else I studied.
What Was I Thinking?
For my final project, I thought I was ready to create a startup that would facilitate serendipitous social hang-outs among strangers. Needless to say, we didn’t get very far. But at least I learned a lot about what it really takes to create a startup.
