Introduction
I have a definite aversion for small talk, but love to discuss ideas with people who are similarly inclined. This seemed like an interesting meetup.
Members of New York Philosophy are requested to display a personal photo of themselves in order to build community within our group. Have you uploaded a photo?

Yes

How did you become interested in philosophy?

I have been since the age of 15. My grandmother was a Sanskrit scholar and I was exposed to Western philosophy at University.

Can you summarize your philosophical outlook in 50 words or less?

Life and material possessions are illusory and fleeting. While they are a necessary evil, it is important to keep digging below the veil that they place over our eyes.

What topics interest you the most?

Death, the nature of justice, the nature of art, and language.
