Below are papers I have written on philosophy and literature:

• Heart of Heart of Darkness as Interpreted through Rousseau's Second Discourse - In this paper, I analyze Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness through the lens of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Second Discourse.


• Hank Rearden and the Exaltation of the Individual - Though I do not agree with the vast majority of Ayn Rand's philosophy, I think she and her characters have some valuable insights about being a staunch individual, which is a quality that I can support in most cases.

Playing and listening to music has taken a large portion of my life and is an important part of it.

Here is a link to my Musicboard account. Though I am not very active on this, I have compiled a somewhat ranked list of my favorite albums.

October - November 2024: I am currently making may way through Swan's discography and keeping track of the songs I enjoy.

Below are links to collections of photos I have taken:
