Hello - I am keenly interested in how people believe and come to believe, how we experience and come to 'know' what we 'know'. I guess I would say my area of interest is epistemology, or the theory of knowledge.

As one of my favorite quotes goes-

“We think so because other people all think so,
Or because - or because - after all, we do think so,
Or because we were told so, and think we must think so,
Or because we once thought so, and think we still think so,
Or because having thought so, we think we will think so.”
~ Henry Sidgwick

In a complex world needing our full attention - poverty, injustice, neglect and cruelty - the inattention upon life for a construct of aliens (that we should fear, no less) - intrigues me as a phenomenon in itself. For how we think about reality drives very much our agenda of actions in the world. What is the consequence of believing there are aliens taking over the world? :)
