This is the site for my work in analytic philosophy.
Some papers here are completed works, others are still in early drafts-form.
This work presents the first mathematically explicit theory of observational selection effects. It has applications in cosmology, evolutionary biology, the interpretation of quantum mechanics, the search for extraterrrestrial life, to the question of whether God exists, and even traffic planning. NEW A puzzling variant of the Newcomb puzzle. Without it, the answer to the question seems to be yes. Mini-paper showing that where anthropic reasoning seems to give rise to weird results is in situations where the hypotheses under consideration imply different numbers of observers will have existed.
