Brendan Myers Quote: “My first Kickstarter project created a…”

My first Kickstarter project created a book called ‘Clear and Present Thinking’, a college-level textbook on logic and critical reasoning, which was made available to the world for free. As a professor myself, I observed that the price of textbooks was too high for some of my students.

Brendan Myers Quote: “At the risk of sounding like…”

At the risk of sounding like a spoilsport, I’d say that pagans have about the same experience of otherness and isolation as anyone else. We’re not special in that regard. But this is because the problem of loneliness is almost universal – and that, to my mind, makes it much more serious.

Brendan Myers Quote: “Perhaps this is one of the…”

Brendan Myers Quote: “I earned my Ph.D. in philosophy…”

I earned my Ph.D. in philosophy, and one of my specializations was the logic and mathematics of game theory. I’ve also got a degree in drama, so I know about stories, characterizations, plot arcs, and the like. Lots of game designers can do one or the other: I’ve got the skills for both.

Brendan Myers Quote: “We immerse ourselves in escapist mass…”

We immerse ourselves in escapist mass entertainment, such as ‘reality T.V.’ programs. We support fanatical politicians and preachers.
