The other night, I couldn’t sleep… as I was lying awake, the phrase “…when you look long into the abyss, the abyss also looks back at you” (F. Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil) popped into my head. For some reason, I started thinking about “searching” - search engine ranking and evaluation methods… how its development somewhat mirrors two forms of epistemology (how we “know” something), one old, one new. Stick with me now…

Does Philosophy Pay?

Answer: Absolutely!

I am a graduate of the UT school of philosophy, class of '98, and I'm actually using my degree in my professional and entrepreneurial pursuits. (Despite the fact that it took me 10 years of meandering around in the taverns pondering the meaning of life over cold pints...but who cares, as long as you get there, right?!)
