I am a PhD student in Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas-Denton. I began my vocation through a nine year apprenticeship with my mentor, Richard M. Owsley. I can be found around Denton troubling students and professors about this and that. A fringe scholar wandering the borderlands between the Academy and the World, I love the hell out of Socrates and Yoda while tending to act like William S. Burroughs and Jaba the Hut. My current projects include studies of the Dào Dé Jing, the intersection of Karl Jaspers’ periechontology with Tarot, and the challenge of queering existential hermeneutics.

    Interesting class! I think it is great to teach students that they need to think for themselves. To use their schooling to get educated. Can you post the transcript of the lecture?

      I will see about doing a transcript. Would probably be a good way to get a more focused blog post out of it. Thanks!

        Thank you! I will write a DTS-post on your comment about all people already being criminals. The laws are in place, all govt has to do is catch us. I saw it in my work – from both sides!
