Ellis:
Welcome to OL.
I had not heard of your University. However, the Wiki link was quite enlightening.
Looks like a beautiful campus.

The campus is very beautiful, especially on fall/spring mornings as the sun shines through the trees. Incredible.

My name is Ellis, 23, and currently studying philosophy and physics at SRU. Got into philosophy around 5 years ago when I took an ethics class, and I've been hooked ever since. Also exposed to Rand at that time (my professor had the class read "The Virtue of Selfishness"). Philosophically, I started off as a strange brew between Kant and Locke; but as time passed, I rejected most of Kant, supplanting it with process metaphysics and object oriented ontology coupled with elements from Rand's epistemology and speculative realism. So, yeah, that's where I am at right now.
I joined SOLO (ding_an_sich is my name) about two years ago; haven't really gained much from it aside from arguing with Leonid, and even then that proves to oftentimes be a fruitless endeavour.
Looking forward to learning a few things and chatting with some new people.
Some links on aforementioned philosophical positions (should you be unfamiliar with them):

Glad you like it.
Frankly, the album is fantastical. It has a taste of what Voltaire, Rabelais, and others offered in their works, but it's set in New York. Something you rarely see (or hear) nowadays.
