[Apollonian]

Currently:

• The rise of the Postmodern era, its influence on my peers, and what I can do about it. Primarily, the overabundance of information in news media and its effect on people's ability to think for themselves.

Psychology

• Personality Theory
• Cognitive Theory (e.g. Cognitive Dissonance)
• Social Psychology (how people interact with groups)
• Applying engineering concepts to the human brain (e.g. Neural Networks, Feedback Control)
• Emotion - through empirical analysis and collaboration

Philosophy

• Heuristics - Shifting from a paradigm of life based on the Scientific Method to one based on an Engineering Method which does not depend upon absolute determinations
• Epistemology - The study of knowledge and Truth
• Metaphysics - The study of the true nature of reality
• Logic and Reasoning - Mainly the study of Logical Fallacy in conversation and how to communicate better

Less focused pursuits:

• Music Theory
• Aesthetics in film, music, and popular art
• Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

Previous intellectual pursuits:

• (High School) Special and General Relativity (including the underlying mathematics, though I had to guess at the tensor calculus at the time. Now it makes more sense.)
• (Middle School) High Energy Particle Physics
• (Primary School) Paleozoology (including latin classifications)
