Tom Morris: 2009-10-29

2009.10.29

The utterly pointless Peaches Geldof has just given me yet another reason to hate celebrity culture: You know what I'm intrigued by? Like, space and wormholes and Stephen Hawking's theories and Richard Dawkins's theories. Iâ€™ve always been really interested in quantum physics, and how we came to be and why. Which is how I guess I got involved in spirituality and stuff, and the religious path I chose to go down. The "religious path" she is on? Scientology. D'oh. She reads Dawkins and becomes a Scientologist. Really not very smart. "Give us your fooking money" is exactly what the Church of Scientology will be saying. 2009-10-29T20:39:16Z

Tom Morris tom@tommorris.org

Currently in: Kent, England

Usually in: East Sussex, England

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

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. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
