About The Site
Hominis Inquiry is a semi-official compilation of my writing, particularly academic stuff addressing contemporary problems in social science and occasional ">political opinions. Uploaded in July 2010, it archives my work for public online viewing. Since I'm liable to change and mature as a scholar-writer over time, some of the older work may no longer represent my current views on an issue, but think it is nice to have them lying around for other people and possibly my own benefit. In keeping with the open-source policy of information implicitly promoted here, I may implement some form of mediawiki in the near future. For now, you hopefully find something interesting to comment on in my weekly updated blog, peruse some academic research and topic papers, or refer to my in-the-works series of free online HyperCourse books, published to aid students wanting to learn subjects in science or math. There are also some cool links to what are my pseudo-professional interests.
A Little About Me

Evolutionary/Social Psychology, Sociology of Power, Information Economics, General Systems Theory, Genetics/Bioinformatics, Ecology, Nonlinear Dynamics/Chaos, Cosmology, Statistical Methods, Psychometrics, Public Education
On the personal side,
I'm currently living in Portland, Oregon. I run around incessantly , eventually hoping to call myself a worthy marathon runner.
