I
wrote
a
comprehensive
guide (in
Persian)
for
Iranian
philosophy
students
who
are
looking
to
apply to
graduate
school
in
North
America.
I
have
some
strong
Pyrrhonist
tendencies
and
used
to
write
a
blog
called
A
Pyrrhonist's
Blog.
The
Pyrrhonist
theme
was
quite
restrictive,
so
I
started
a
new
blog
called
Free
Floating
Perspective.
The
idea
is
still
similar:
exploring reality
through
temporary
adoption
of various
perspectives
as
though
they
are
yours.
I
also
have
some
non-academic
publications.
This
one
(co-authored
with
an
economist
friend)
is
about
facilitating the
immigration
of
STEM
students
as
a
source
of
boost
to
the
economy.
In
the
same
venue,
I
published
an
article
in
which
I
tried
to
present
a
Millian
perspective
on
climate
change.
I
argue
that
we
should
always
welcome
anti-consensus
research,
as
long
as
it
follows
respectable
methodology; I
also
argue
that
regardless,
risk-benefit
analysis
in
the state
of
uncertainty
about
something
as
damaging
as
climate
change suggests
legislative
intervention
as
the
right
course
of
action.
I
am
the
founder
of
BridgePittsburgh,
a
campus
organization
dedicated
to
fostering
civil
disagreement
and
bridging
the
ever-widening
ideological
chasm
in
contemporary
American
society.
BridgePitt
is
the
Pittsburgh
chapter
of
BridgeUSA,
a
national
organization
with
similar
goals.
Our
ground
rules
revolve
around
sharply
distinguishing
individuals
from
ideas:
we
provide
a
space
that
is
safe for
all
individuals,
and
simultaneously
open
and
critical
for
all
ideas.
I
am
somewhat
secretly
a
sci-fi
nerd!
My
favorite
kind
of
sci-fi
has
philosophical
and/or
political
themes
built
into
a
self-sufficient
narrative
that
one
could
understand
and
enjoy
without
ever
thinking
about
philosophy
and/or
politics,
if
one
wanted
to.
I
love
babbling
about
that
sort
of
sci-fi
with
a
few
other
nerds
I
met
online,
so
we
started
a
podcast
called
May
We
Geek
Again and,
amazingly,
there
are
people
who
want
to
listen
to
that!
Real
Talk
with
BridgePittsburgh
was
our podcast hosted
on
the
University
of
Pittsburgh's
radio
station
WPTS.
We
were
committed
to
understanding
each
other’s
viewpoints
through
in-depth
conversations
of
intricate
socio-political
issues
in long-form
interviews.
We
celebrate
disagreement,
and
find
thrill
in
all
ideas,
including
and
especially
unusual
ones.
(Unfortunately,
we
only
got
to
make
two
episodes
and
one
was
never
uploaded
by
the
university.)
I
gave
a
remote
talk
about
the
history
of
quantum
mechanics
as
it
relates
to
the
discovery
of
helium
at
the
&HPS
conference
in
2021.
I
wrote
and
appeared
in
a
video
intended
for
the
public
audience
in
which
I
explain
parts
of
my
historical
research
on
the
origins
of
quantum
mechanics
and
its
philosophical
implications.
I'm
a
certified
Google
Ads
manager
specializing
in
creating
and
optimizing
Search
and
Display
ads
for
small-
and
medium-sized
businesses
and
non-profits,
including
those
running
wide-ranging,
global
campaigns
and
those
focusing
on
local,
niche
markets.
I
have
several
years
of
very
hands-on
experience
with
Google
Ads
and
also
with
Facebook/Instagram
ads,
and
can
help
you
set
up
or
optimize
any
of
those.
I
will
help
you
apply
for
an
ad
grant
(if
you're
a
nonprofit),
set
up
your
account,
and
run
efficient
ads
that
bring
a
great
return
on
your
investment.
My
work
as
a
Philosophy
Therapist
centers
on
achieving
self-awareness
and
inner
peace through
the
use
of
both
philosophy
and
psychology.
I
focus on
three
main
areas
of
help:
regaining
agency
in
the
face
of
depression
and
anxiety,
improving
communication
and
conversation,
and
adjusting
to life
as
a
minority,
sucha
as
an
immigrant, a
gifted
person,
or
an
outcast.
I
draw
on
conceptual
and
practical
frameworks
developed
throughout
history,
from
ancient
philosophy
to
modern
philosophy
of
science
to
meditation
and
psychological
part-work.
My
wife Hannah
and
I
run
a
local
club
here
in
Colorado
Springs
called
The
Good
Talk
Club.
The
idea
behind
this
group
is
essentially
the
same
as
Real
Talk
and
BridgePitt
(see
below):
we
separate
the
individual
from
the
idea,
celebrate
disagreement,
and
try
to
experience
contrary
information
as
a
thrill
rather
than
a
threat.
Colorado
Springs
is
the
city
of
incredible
bridge-builders
such
as
William
Jackson
Palmer
and Fannie
Mae
Duncan
and
we
are
proud
to
be
based
here!
