Hello fediverse friends !
I’m Alice (yes that’s my name, and no, there’s technically no “Bob”). My central values are Curiosity and Compassion.
I’m a recent graduate of the University of Toronto’s Philosophy specialist BA program. I specialized in philosophy of mathematics, ethics, and standpoint epistemology, with a focus on disinformation. Before that, I was a music history major (switched programs midway).

Hey, another newbie, just like me.
But disinformation has become a real area of interest to me too.
Vlad Vexler over on Youtube has some fascinating insights about current Russian techniques.

Re-Toot (if you feel like it) if you have any interesting misinformation resources....
You are so welcome here! My mission is to guide you through the political challenges we all face in the 21st century. I’m a philosopher. My academic life focuses on the concept of freedom and I'm writing a book about Isaiah Berlin. I'm a British citizen living in London. I was born in Soviet Russia - I left before the collapse of the USSR. I continue to closely analyse Russian politics. Check out my second channel Vlad Vexler Chat, where I do Q&As and go into more depth with almost daily content. I also have specialist channels: Vlad Vexler Philosophy and Vlad Vexler Music. I do some work in musicology. My content is informed by my experience living with a debilitating neurological condition. I contracted it 20 years ago as a research student at Oxford. For years, I couldn't walk, talk or read. I manage this condition daily and it gives me a unique perspective on disability, the tragic element in life, as well as the beauty. 🌻
