I'd give my name, but I'm still not comfortable doing that on the internet. I'm in my mid-20's, recently graduated with a BA in mathematics, and I tutor for money. This mostly involves teaching the children of wealthy families how to do well on the SAT/ACT--ensuring that the upper class is able to outperform equally or more qualified students on gatekeeping exams, so that the social stratification based on wealth may continue.

There are basically two main things I'm interested in:

1. Music. I've played music all my life, but I've only really taken it seriously recently. I played piano from first to seventh grade, and then picked it up freshman year of college when I started taking a lot of acid. Most of what I played for the following several years was self-learned classical, but then I started to branch out into blues, rock, and recently jazz and funk. I recently got a 1980 Mk. II Fender Rhodes piano refurbished by some dude in Berkeley, and it's sexy as hell. Hopefully my friends and I will stop getting too drunk to really jam and start playing some serious music. We're all capable--we just need to focus.

2. Neuroscience. Specifically neuropsychopharmacology, or the neural pathways through which drugs affect behavior and states of consciousness. This falls directly in line with my passion for psychedelic drugs. I've recently been taking online courses for basic information, and began poring through some light reading in the hopes that I may someday find myself in a graduate program, and possibly help assist in the research spearheaded by organizations like MAPS. This one's a long shot.

I also like to lift weights, read about politics, argue on the internet, and engage in sophisticated discussions about drug experiences.
