The key to understanding why I became a fossil fuel champion is a decision I made when I was a 19-year-old computer science major at Duke University: to become a philosopher—specifically, a practical philosopher. — PolitiTweet.org

I became a fossil fuel champion before I even knew anyone in the industry, let alone had a financial connection. I had no family connection to fossil fuels. And I grew up in a liberal area, Chevy Chase, MD, that had no connection to fossil fuels. — PolitiTweet.org

Many think of philosophy as impractical. But I think it's *the most practical subject*, because it studies the fundamental ideas that guide *all our thinking and action*. Different philosophies drive hugely different outcomes. (See: "Philosophy: Who Needs It" by Ayn Rand) — PolitiTweet.org
