Philoscifi 
In reading your “about” page, your account of high school/college experiences reminds me of the good fortune I had to have a high school Philosophy teacher in Jim Wichterman. As you can imagine, the feeling of intellectual “connectedness” I enjoyed was increased when I saw this:
On another note, the appreciation of the “justice” meme in the name Justarius is something that I share. It has been interesting to get to know the work of a fellow named Joe Justice, the guy behind WikiSpeed dot com.

David, that’s quite amazing. Do you still keep in touch with Mr. Wichterman? I had a remarkable teacher in high school as well who really opened my eyes. He was philosopher, teaching math, English, and humanities with equal depth and insight. I should have switched my intended major right then and there, but I had mentally committed to engineering and was reluctant to entirely change course. It wasn’t until 7 long years later when I read The Story of Philosophy that I finally accepted who I really was, and everything slowly started coming together.
I recently caught up with him again in person. It was quite a joy. In one sense, it feels like no time has passed. He is the same brilliant guy, but I have changed. I can now talk with him on a different level. More than teacher, he is now a friend and a peer.
Thanks for introducing me to Joe Justice. I hadn’t heard of his work before and need to learn more.
