Erik Harkness

The phrase übergeek is a gross understatement when trying to describe me. I play video games daily (sometimes I play World of Warcraft!), I have been to the Atlanta Dragon*Con multiple times, and I even participated in several Starwars vs. Startrek debates. Through these activities, I believe they have influenced me to think outside the box and challenge accepted ideas.

Surprisingly, this philosophy has caused me to look foolish at times, especially being liberal in a very conservative school. Despite having this philosophy, I am never fast enough to win arguments. I am more effective when I have time to reflect and think my way through the argument. But these defeats have never deterred me from thinking and questioning.
