CURRENT MISSION

To change the world, not just to study it.

ABOUT ME

I am a perpetual student and now technically a doctor, but not the useful one who stops people from dying....one of the pretty useless ones who complains about 'government' using complex theoretical frameworks, which I only paritally understand. Currently I live Johannesburg, or Jozi as the cool kids say. I moved here with my girlfriend (Su) and my daughter (Willow) in September 2015. We lived with three other people, a cat, and three chickens. When I'm not trying to be an important/pretentious academic I like being a hippie (which I am actually quite good at) by growing my own vegetables, keeping a compost heap and recycling (by which I mean hording junk).

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like them to treat you
