Jeff Fedorkiw
Jeff is currently teaching reading to primary school students in southern China. After spending a fair amount of time traveling the country for almost 3 years he has managed to see hardly any of it (it is quite big).
He is working on an M.A. thesis in philosophy for the University of Alberta. He is interested in contemporary topics in metaphysics, mind and language as well as historical topics in the early modern and early analytic periods and still yet also, even the Taoist and Confucian traditions. That is 7 too many philosophical areas for any one person to be an expert in, and he is no exception.
At one time he was a productive member of society, working as a graphic artist and a cook.
The most important advice, and the hardest to adhere to, he has ever received is "try not to say anything false".
