Welcome to Luke Cuddy's webpage. I (yup, switched from the third to first person) am a philosophy instructor, a copywriter for Vandusen Design, and a freelance writer. Like many, my professional interests are diverse and include pop-culture and philosophy, Eastern philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy of education, philosophy of religion, and the academic study of games. On a less professional level, my interests are reading a lot of philosophy and fiction, traveling, and playing games and the guitar. Feel free to come to any conclusion about my identity based on these bits and pieces of factual information--that is, my online identity. Come on, you know you want to...

Here are some random quotes that have inspired me over the years:

"For such is the nature of men that, howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty or more eloquent or more learned, yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves..." Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, Chapter 13.

"I did not even know where I was rushing, down to the earth or up to the sun, to its flame..." Yevgeny Zamyatin, We, Page 80.

"A man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while; and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more" Arthur Schopenhauer, Studies in Pessimism, Page 18.

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away" Philip K. Dick, The Shifting Realities of Philip K. Dick, Page 261.
