I am a reasonably emotional person, and I see no reason why that’s incompatible with being a scientist. Even if we learn about how everything works, that doesn’t mean anything at all. You can reduce how an impala leaps to a bunch of biomechanical equations. You can turn Bach into contrapuntal equations, and that doesn’t reduce in the slightest our capacity to be moved by a gazelle leaping or Bach thundering. There is no reason to be less moved by nature around us simply because it’s revealed to have more layers of complexity than we first observed.

I'm a computer science student at the University of Victoria. I like science: both computational and non-computational! I dabble in the fine arts and culinary wizardry.

You can add me on Skype if you want.
