Hello. I'm Michael. I'm an English major, still in undergrad, but my passion is library science. I'm not as big on research as I am on systems of research and information exchange. I prefer work to thought but I don't like mindless labor either, so I've tried to squeeze into the narrows of academic librarianship, hoping for a happy medium where I can do something that helps people learn and keeps me from growing unread and "set in my ways."

I'm only stopping here because it's the next interesting, "honest" place I've come across and I want to extract what I can from it and enjoy the community for a while. I used to be a southern Christian who did not really respond to reality in anyway. I knew that one was suppose to "believe" in this truth or that truth, but the idea of belief corresponding to some reality never occurred to me until I ran afoul of a Kent Hovind seminar and was forced to reconcile beliefs to reality.

I've lurked and read here and there on Less Wrong and Overcoming Bias. I know already it's a community of extreme intensity which I like. I've no predictions so I'm just going to enjoy it while I can.
