About ACITD

I'm a pretty active thinker. I have a degree in philosophy, which is effectively a piece of paper saying I'm good at jerking off my brain. I have a degree in psychology as well. I put those two degrees to good use as a designer and graphic artist. This blog is named after Carl Sagan's book about pseudoscience, "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as A Candle in the Dark."

I am honestly trying to not sound like a self-important dick as I write this, I swear. Moreover, the existence of the term "reason" in my banner does not mean that I am a fan of Ayn Rand, a libertarian, or that I read Reason Magazine. I hate it that those people have seemingly claimed the word.

I use this blog as a venue to rant about subjects of a scientific, philosophical, economic, and political nature.
