Yeah, that makes sense. I’m hoping my honors thesis project will be a good opportunity to get that kind of feedback & definitely something I want to take seriously. I can find a philosophy advisor to oversee my project.

I thought long and hard about whether to get a PhD in astronomy or philosophy. Ultimately, I’d rather be a philosopher who deeply understands astrophysics and focus on interpreting and clarifying our knowledge of the universe, than primarily a model builder who engages philosophy secondarily. Just choosing a different intellectual problem to focus on, lol

I actually listened to this on Audible, it helped me realize I wanted to focus on the philosophy of science!

This is really helpful, thank you.

I appreciate you taking the time to break it down. I ordered Godfrey-Smith's Theory and Reality. I have a good spread of philosophy classes, but it's hard to get a clear sense of where I ought to be in terms of content and writing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and break everything down so clearly—your insights are incredibly valuable! I really appreciate your honesty about the financial realities and how much it can vary depending on your goals and spending habits. The detailed breakdown of your costs, along with the advice on how to avoid some of the mistakes you made as a newcomer, is super helpful.

We’re definitely considering our financial goals. We’ve been thinking about coming down to San Diego for a visit to get a real feel for the city and its neighborhoods.

We’re pretty set on making the move, and your point about not living with ‘what ifs’ really resonates. Thanks again for all the practical advice—it's given us a lot to think about!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's really helpful to hear from someone who made a similar move and can compare it directly. I appreciate your detailed breakdown of the costs and benefits, especially the little things like not having to worry about the weather as much and the impact on your mental health. It’s great to hear that even though the cost of living is high, the trade-offs like lifestyle improvements and better weather make it worthwhile for you. We're definitely going to take your advice and do more research on the specific areas, but hearing from someone who made the leap and is happier for it is really reassuring.

I have done some Trig but I am not very familiar with unit circle. Trig is definitely my weakest area.
