Hi,
I've been lurking on LW/OB for a while but thought I'd sign up. I'm currently doing a philosophy degree which you might expect would make me feel unwelcome on LW (which is often fairly anti-philosophy) but it's actually really great to come across a group with a similar view about how to do philosophy as me - I tend to come across more interesting philosophy ideas here than I do in classes.
Anyway, just thought I'd say hello.
at which school?
Monash in Australia.
I should say though that my comments before weren't intended to reflect poorly on philosophy at Monash. From what I can tell, they're a good university for philosophy but I simply find a lot of philosophy to be of dubious value and my views on which philosophy is useful aligns to a reasonable extent with views expressed on LW. So despite the ability of the Monash Philosophy Department, I find that not all classes cover stuff that I find to be useful.
College in Australia = should be fun ;) Welcome to LW
