Hi, I’m Will Da Silva. I’m a software developer by trade (currently working on Meltano), and I enjoy discussing and debating philosophical and political topics. I write about some of these topics here, among other things.

My interests include:

• Neuroscience - I’d like to work on biotech for the brain someday.
• Climbing - I try to climb at least one per week, usually bouldering, and can solve grade V7 problems occasionally.
• The immune system
• Urbanism
• Camping
• Cooking
• Baking
• Artificial intelligence
• Kayaking
• Animation - I consider it to be a superior medium to live-action video in most respects.
• Type theory
• Biking
• Media analysis - TV Tropes is one of my favourite websites; I love finishing a good series, and then diving into the TV Tropes pages for it.
• Philosophy - I plan to eventually have enough written here to provide an overview of my philosophical views.
• Long fantasy series with rich worldbuilding
