Why is the world of ideas dominated by male thinkers? Is it because women are discouraged from intellectual life - or is it because women tend to choose other careers?
If we go even deeper: why do women (and men) make the choices they do? Is it because they are influenced by overwhelming societal pressures - or are they acting freely?
These are the questions I've asked Dr. Michelle Boulous-Walker, who teaches at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.

Christopher Langan is an independent intellectual known for having the highest IQ in America - somewhere around 200, which is six standard deviations above the norm.
His story is fascinating. Chris is not working within the academy. Instead, he's splitting his time between ranching and philosophizing.
We spoke about a wide range of topics, including the problems of modern academia, the concept of IQ, and his attempt at a Theory of Everything entitled "The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe" - or the "CTMU".
You can find more information about the CTMU at:

A year ago, I started Patterson in Pursuit. Ten countries later, I've learned a thing or two, and I want to share my thoughts.
Topics include academia, multiculturalism, traveling, religion, and some new ideas I've encountered on my journey.

Does infinity really come in multiple sizes? According to mathematical orthodoxy, some infinities are bigger than others - but that's awfully hard to wrap your mind around. So, I've asked Dr. Toby Meadows from the University of Queensland to help me out. He specializes in the philosophy of mathematics and set theory.

Blind faith is a methodological error. If you value the truth, there is no room for "belief without reasons."
