Yeh. Was well disappointed when I looked at his Twitter, though - must say.

He is a lecturer in music culture and the programme leader for MA sonic culture
if i had stayed on at uni he would have been my lecturer in my 2nd and 3rd years... I didn't find this out until after i had dropped out

I think I read somewhere that Caribou has a PhD in mathematics.

Yeah, modular forms, I think, roughly the same area I did mine in.

[Shum]

^ Nice one. I was always interested in modular forms (given their relationship with Fermat's Last Theorem) but my maths education ended up going down a different path.

Interesting. A guy at work (also software engineer) was offered a job on that but turned it down. He 's a musician too.

"1999, Ph.D in Philosophy, Department of Philosophy, University of Warwick."

and to stop the hate on philosophy if it wasn't for Greek philosophers we wouldn't have logic and therefore modern mathematics and therefore the sudy of physics and what we understand about the world and the universe.

Doesn't say he was a Philosophy lecturer though, does it?

Actually, without the Druids we might never have had 'Pythagorean Theorem'. Surveys of ancient sites in Britain revealed they were built in accordance with the maths Pythagoras is generally credited with created at least 1,000 years before the guy was born... Not only that, classical texts say he went to Britain to learn it! Some Roman roads have also been found to be built on prehistoric remains of previous inhabitants and might even have inspired them to do the same rather than the other way around.

The Greeks were good and all that anyway but India and the other far east cultures have been just as important, if not more. Greek moral and existential philosophy is remarkably similar in some ways to Indian Buddhism (the 'middle way' of being, not being too ascetic and not being too indulgent). The 'Silk Road' was very influential in carrying ideas, Japanese and Greek mythology even has some of the same figures (e.g. both have a god that controls a bag of wind which can be released by loosening the string holding the bag closed). The Romans are also reckoned to have visited China at some point. India had a complex logical philosophy that included falsification, the sign of a true scientific theory, 1,000s of years before Europeans claimed to have 'invented' it. The view that 'Europe' developed as cultural entity separate from everywhere else is a delusion and bad history, check out 'The Decline Of The West' by Oswald Spengler to see where the trails get covered over and lost. Plenty of fascinating information around

There's electrical, civil, pump, mechanical... long list, it generally relates to the area they specialise in

probably a social engineer

Datsik gained a diploma from the Pond's Institute,
specializing in hand creams

but seriously,
isn't making (good) music a highly skilled job?
