I am a native of New York City &#8212; born in Nassau county to a WASP dad and a Polish immigrant mom. I went to art school at Pratt Institute where I studied sculpture way back in the 1980&#8217;s. In the 1990&#8217;s I studied philosophy at Loyola University of Chicago, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Eventually I got a job teaching philosophy at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pct.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pennsylvania College of Technology<\/a>. I&#8217;m still there teaching part time distance ed courses. I also teach online and face to face at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouth.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Plymouth State University<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">my interests in philosophy are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>rationality and irrationality<\/li><li>philosophy of mind<\/li><li>ethics<\/li><li>social and political philosophy<\/li><li>Zen buddhism<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">other interests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>web development<\/li><li>photography<\/li><li>Linux<\/li><li>the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/zmm.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zen Mountain Monastery<\/a><\/li><li>hiking, biking, climbing, being in the woods<\/li><li>Japanese language: \u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u3092\u5c11\u3057\u5206\u304b\u308a\u307e\u3059<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links is-layout-flex wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\">\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-github wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/gwmatthews\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12,2C6.477,2,2,6.477,2,12c0,4.419,2.865,8.166,6.839,9.489c0.5,0.09,0.682-0.218,0.682-0.484 c0-0.236-0.009-0.866-0.014-1.699c-2.782,0.602-3.369-1.34-3.369-1.34c-0.455-1.157-1.11-1.465-1.11-1.465 c-0.909-0.62,0.069-0.608,0.069-0.608c1.004,0.071,1.532,1.03,1.532,1.03c0.891,1.529,2.341,1.089,2.91,0.833 c0.091-0.647,0.349-1.086,0.635-1.337c-2.22-0.251-4.555-1.111-4.555-4.943c0-1.091,0.39-1.984,1.03-2.682 C6.546,8.54,6.202,7.524,6.746,6.148c0,0,0.84-0.269,2.75,1.025C10.295,6.95,11.15,6.84,12,6.836 c0.85,0.004,1.705,0.114,2.504,0.336c1.909-1.294,2.748-1.025,2.748-1.025c0.546,1.376,0.202,2.394,0.1,2.646 c0.64,0.699,1.026,1.591,1.026,2.682c0,3.841-2.337,4.687-4.565,4.935c0.359,0.307,0.679,0.917,0.679,1.852 c0,1.335-0.012,2.415-0.012,2.741c0,0.269,0.18,0.579,0.688,0.481C19.138,20.161,22,16.416,22,12C22,6.477,17.523,2,12,2z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">GitHub<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-chain wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gwmatthews.github.io\/\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M15.6,7.2H14v1.5h1.6c2,0,3.7,1.7,3.7,3.7s-1.7,3.7-3.7,3.7H14v1.5h1.6c2.8,0,5.2-2.3,5.2-5.2,0-2.9-2.3-5.2-5.2-5.2zM4.7,12.4c0-2,1.7-3.7,3.7-3.7H10V7.2H8.4c-2.9,0-5.2,2.3-5.2,5.2,0,2.9,2.3,5.2,5.2,5.2H10v-1.5H8.4c-2,0-3.7-1.7-3.7-3.7zm4.6.9h5.3v-1.5H9.3v1.5z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">Link<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-twitter wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/geoslack\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M22.23,5.924c-0.736,0.326-1.527,0.547-2.357,0.646c0.847-0.508,1.498-1.312,1.804-2.27 c-0.793,0.47-1.671,0.812-2.606,0.996C18.324,4.498,17.257,4,16.077,4c-2.266,0-4.103,1.837-4.103,4.103 c0,0.322,0.036,0.635,0.106,0.935C8.67,8.867,5.647,7.234,3.623,4.751C3.27,5.357,3.067,6.062,3.067,6.814 c0,1.424,0.724,2.679,1.825,3.415c-0.673-0.021-1.305-0.206-1.859-0.513c0,0.017,0,0.034,0,0.052c0,1.988,1.414,3.647,3.292,4.023 c-0.344,0.094-0.707,0.144-1.081,0.144c-0.264,0-0.521-0.026-0.772-0.074c0.522,1.63,2.038,2.816,3.833,2.85 c-1.404,1.1-3.174,1.756-5.096,1.756c-0.331,0-0.658-0.019-0.979-0.057c1.816,1.164,3.973,1.843,6.29,1.843 c7.547,0,11.675-6.252,11.675-11.675c0-0.178-0.004-0.355-0.012-0.531C20.985,7.47,21.68,6.747,22.23,5.924z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
