I hope to be able to solve problems with words. I’ve wanted to solve problems for quite some time, which is why for two years I majored in computer science. But I became disheartened at the likelihood that I would spend my life producing workmanlike code or, at best, devising faster ways to do so. I decided that instead I wanted to verbally analyze complicated stuff, to be sure that I was at least thinking something meaningful, so I majored in philosophy. My plan--still vague--is to combine problem solving with verbal explication in some fulfilling way.
