Hi Chris,

    Welcome! I look forward to your posts. ;-)


    BTW, I have neglected to post my own "Joining" statement, so let me
introduce myself. I am a self-taught student of philosophy of science,
specializing on the Problems of Time and Consciousness. I somewhat follow
Chalmers' ideas on consciousness and subscribe to Hitoshi Kitada's theory of
Local Time (www.kitada.com). I am a co-moderator of the Time List
(yahoogroups.com).


Kindest regards,

Stephen
