Why did you become a Philosopher’s Café moderator?

I was invited to take over moderating the North Shore Cafe by the previous moderator (Peter Raabe) when he resigned.

What is the most rewarding part of moderating?

I enjoy the opportunity to think critically about myself and my world. These are exciting times philosophically as ancient problems get replaced by new information and new ways of thinking.
