From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simfish is actually a Scarlet Macaw. Simfish, like a Scarlet Macaw makes loud, low-pitched, throaty squawks and screams.

I also go by the addy InquilineKea, which I adopted in February 2007.

If you have merely googled my name and came here, then go to http://simfishthoughts.wordpress.com/about/ for more info. I know I make myself look like a fool online. I sometimes intentionally act out online - just to warn you.

Okay and FYI, I live in Redmond, Washington (and am male) [and I came from Colorado]. In case you find other ppl by "simfish", ONLY the "simfish" that come from Redmond are from me.

I have also been influenced by the environmental movement, the animal rights movement, and utilitarianism, even though I have rejected the premises of such movements. I also have been influenced by the meritocratic community of the open source movement, although I would prefer applying the logic of the movement to academia in general. Freeman Dyson and Charles Murray both argue on many of the problems of higher education.
