i talk a lot shit, don't i? do i know what i'm talking about?
i'm putting this aside for my own records.
...but i have an honours degree in mathematics, with a surplus of credits at the fourth/fifth year that would be enough for a masters degree, if i were to pay for it. this is why i focused on a second degree in computer science rather than a master's degree in math - i already had one, i just never bought it. it didn't get me anywhere, and wasn't going to get me anywhere i wanted.
i stopped the computer science degree a credit short for the simple reason that i didn't want to do it anymore. i did not formally switch into law, but i completed about two years worth of law credits before i abandoned this as well. i could get a minor in either subject if i wanted it.
i spent a year in physics, as well, and you can see that i had an interest in it.
i have no meaningful formal education in history, anthropology, music or political science. this is dabbling and outside reading.
so, when i start talking about thermodynamics or statistics or whatever else, i'm not just repeating things i learned at wiki. i went to school for an absurd amount of time, and took a very technical workload. it's actually the "softer" subjects that i'm not trained in.
i promote skepticism. but, you can usually take me seriously when i get technical, and i will always caveat when i'm being unconventional.
all courses taken at carleton university in ottawa, canada.
