Victor
Danilchenko |
I was born in USSR. I have
always been interested in sciences, but I became interested in
philosophy as soon as I became cognizant of the issues beyond
the daily minutae. I identified myself as a pantheist back then,
and this hasn't changed. I left Ukraine when I was 16, and,
having lived in a number of other countries, I eventually
arrived in USA. In college, I consciously chose to pursue
philosophy as a hobby, because I thought that doing it
professionally would detract from the enjoyment of it. I studied
informatics, got married, and got a bunch of kids. Through it
all, philosophy remained a major interest in my life, especially
epistemology.
Epistemically, I am a pragmatic physicalist with a
phenomenological bent. I reject ontology outright, and I
consider it to be a waste of neural activity except inasmuch as
it's subsumed by epistemology anyway. My main guiding
interest is knowledge. Universe is my cathedral, knowledge is my
worship, metaphorically speaking.
I have no writings or publications, except for those writings I
make for my own benefit. My whole corpus of writings is the
discussions and debates I have had with others over the years. I
am vain enough, I don't need to further feed my vanity by
writing at others.
