View original postHow often do you actually actually think about what you say or do?

Quite a lot. I'm an introvert and introverts do that


View original postTo what extent are you a product of your biology?

I think biology has a huge influence on who you are, probably much more than most people think. We are physically beings.


View original postDo you think there's more to you than currently explainable by science? If so, do you think this is intrinsically unknowable, or something that follows rules/science which we currently don't know, but may do one day?

Well, obviously certain features of the mind such as consciousness haven't yet been explained, but I'm confident that science will one day get to grips with them. I'm a rationalist, I think there's no such thing as 'intrinsically unknowable' or 'beyond science'.


View original postHow often do you wonder how other people think?

All the time. See my answer to first question.


View original postDescribe your philosophy on life, the universe, and everything (yes, 42, I know ).

We know very little, much less than we thought we did when we were young. The answers are not within, they are out in the world. Abstract philosophies won't help unless they are firmly rooted in our own personal experience. The answers lie in getting out into the world and exploring and interacting as much as possible with other people and cultures, not living in our own heads and thoughts. Travel is one the best things you can do, because it lets you experience the world anew.


View original postWhat are your feeling about pineapples?

Love the smell and taste of pineapples. I think 'exotic'. 'juicy' and 'fruity' .
