Former full-time journalist with the second-largest selling 'quality' or broadsheet' newspaper in Australia, in Australia's largest city.
Current psychology major within the Faculty of Science at one of the 'Group of Eight' Australian universities.
I have also studied at university the philosophy of science - which analyses and evaluates the nature and validity of scientific perception and knowledge.
I also have a long-standing interest in meditative traditions of psychological training and experiential philosophy such as Buddhism, Hindusim, Christian Mysticism, and Sufism.
I have come to the conclusion that:
- information which is as objective or neutral as possible is crucial to the 'healthy' functioning of societies.
and
- delivering that information clearly and concisely is the best way to serve the first purpose - and is also an act of kindness to the reader! :-)
