Amyloo is angry too. We need to get angry a lot more. Fuck Web 2.0. We need Anger 2.0. We need to be angry 24 hours a day, and then we need to do something about it. Anger is good. 2007-06-18T12:49:23ZUntitled entry permalink

Steve Chapman has a great article in Reason about needle exchange programmes. I'm a big advocate of NX programmes, as they prevent thousands of people from dying at a miniscule cost. The economics and health benefits of NX is so clear, I'm amazed that so many people are against it because it 'sends the wrong message'. Can you fucking believe that pompous bullshit? You know what sends the wrong message - not doing anything to stop HIV transmission when it is so unbelievably cheap, all because you don't want to have to climb down off your high horse. When even hardened libertarians like the Reason crew are calling for a government programme, you've got to see that it's reasonable. I mean, it's almost like they want people to get AIDS so that they have to go in to debt to pay for their treatment. 2007-06-18T12:40:43ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
