Bio

I'm an MLitt Philosophy student at the University of St Andrews. Due to lack of funding I probably won't be doing philosophy after this year. My main area of research is Epistemology, but I have recently become interested in Methodology; particularly questions revolving around the use of intuitions. After thinking too hard about the Lottery Paradox I have become a skeptic until further notice. I'm have now solved my skepticism. Which is nice.

Research interests

My main areas of interest currently include:

I'm also interested in metaphysics, systems of logic, rationality, and perception.

Crazy Views That I Hold

  • Knowledge isn't factive
  • Dialetheism is onto something
  • Externalism is nonsense
