I have been a software entrepreneur and executive, co-founded a successful company and worked for many years as a Chief Technical Officer. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I studied literature, history, economics and philosophy at York University, hold an undergraduate degree in History from McGill University, and earned a graduate degree from the University of Toronto, focusing on the history of philosophy. I received an &lsquo;A&rsquo; for my Master&rsquo;s Thesis analyzing the political implications of the philosophies of Immanuel Kant, G.W.F. Hegel, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. I also spent two years studying writing and acting at the National Theatre School of Canada.<br \/>\nI have been fascinated by philosophy &#8211; particularly moral theories &#8211; since my mid-teens. I left my career as a software entrepreneur and executive to pursue philosophy full time through my work here at Freedomain Radio. I have written a number of novels as well as many free books on philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>In my podcasts and videos, I try to avoid opinions, and instead talk about proof and rationality. If the theories I propose are reasonable, and are supported by evidence, well and good, we have both learned something. If not, listeners such as you are quick to point out errors, which I receive with gratitude. This approach is fundamentally different from most \u00ab\u00a0talk shows.\u00a0\u00bb I am a rigorous philosopher, and I will always bow to reason and evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The only freedom is freedom from illusion &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the largest and most popular philosophical conversation in the world Powerful ideas for all lovers of personal and political freedom &#8211; Freedomain Radio is the largest and most popular philosophy show on the web, and was a Top 10 Finalist in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Podcast Awards.
