Hey everybody, Ember here. NS nation is Tiressa - a land of magic, mystery, and a somewhat crazy cult whose members might or might not be sadistic zealots. Uuuh... I digress. I am an avid roleplayer and lore-writer and spend... basically too much of my time worldbuilding. I tried to build a little region of my own but interest waned, and Caer Sidi seems like a wonderful place of people with similar passions for roleplaying and being huge nerds.
Tiressa is a nation dominated by somewhat crazy sorcerer-lords. Don't be alarmed, it's a really nice place. Just don't expect too much comfort. People there are a little different.
IRL I'm a grad student, currently getting my MSc in Philosophy, specifically Philosophy of technology. After that I'm probably off to get a PhD and slowly rot away in academia, yay. Jokes aside, I am thrilled to discuss... pretty much anything. I enjoy a good conversation more than anything, really.

It's basically being a smartass Jokes aside, most of it is ethics. So basically, asking questions about what good technology is, what it means for technology to be "good" for its users, which values it supports and which it discourages. There' a bunch of different fields, really. I focus on bioethics (e.g. "is it admissible to clone people") and political philosophy ("how does our democratic society change in response to technological progress").
