My brother, Billy, and I have been philosophizing together since he was in middle school and I was in kindergarten. Our riding-in-the-car discussions were about general relativity and early big bang theory. In college, Billy majored in physics and philosophy, while I majored in psychology and education. Unofficially, I have continued my studies in comparative religion and classical philosophy to this day.
