This blog is just getting started. In a little while I will start putting up some old posts from the now defunct thinkindifferent.org, and maybe something new. Meanwhile here is a quick FAQ:

What happened to ThinkIndifferent.org?

The server died. I fixed it. It died again. I fixed it some more. It died some more. I gave up.

What’s with the name?

A character in “So Long and Thanks for all the Fish” called Wonko the Sane always appealed to me. After encountering a packet of toothpicks that came with instructions he became something of a recluse. He withdrew to a called The Asylum, that appeared to have been turned inside out. Wonko lived Outside the Asylum. The rest of the world was Inside the Asylum.

What is this blog supposed to be for?

Hard to say. ThinkIndifferent.org turned out to be a mix of politics, philosophy, and BS. My guess is that this blog will turn out to be more of the same.

Who the hell are you anyway?

Dr. Strangelove: I’m a graduate student in philosophy. I mostly do ethics and political theory. I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb a long time ago. I’ll let the other posters speak for themselves if they feel inclined.

Filthy Stinking No.9: Who the hell am I? Who the hell are you? No seriously, sometimes I’m not sure myself. I’ve got 3 citizenships, and an accent that doesn’t belong anywhere anymore. I’ve recently finished a PhD in ancient Chinese history, and am busy with a variety of part-time jobs while I look for something more permanent. I’ve been based in Sydney for the last few years.

Ethlite: Ethlite is the top google hit for Ethlite. What more needs to be said?
