I am an oddball mixture of a biologist, a linguist, a poet, a dreamer, a scientist, a philosopher, a hippie, a programmer, a rationalist, an internalist, a nativist and a generativist, a disciple of analytic philosophy, an alienated reflectionist, an art-lover, an avid admirer and mourner of the flower-generation, a listener to the voices of the Peoples' history, a subscriber to Unified String Theory and of the multiple universes hypothesis, a math-lover, an astronomy junkie, a Richard Feynman devotee, an awe-struck admirer of the evolutionary process, an enthusiastic antagonist to the very notion of God, an anti-theist, an anarchist, a Chomskyan, an antie, astablishmenterian, a follower of Carl Sagan, skeptical of all traditions, cynical about social conventionality, sarcastic about involuntarily inherited manufactured heritages, scornful of the obedient, comrade to the marginalised, a brother to the weak, a compatriot to the defenceless; I am but an orphaned son of the counterculture, ripped from the 60s, transplanted in the twenty-first century, homeless and homesick, only doing what I can to stay hungry and stay foolish...

At times of uncertainty, and I face quite a few of those, I simply close my eyes, take a deep breath, and ask myself: "WHAT WOULD NOAM CHOMSKY DO?"
