José Muñiz
Co-Creator and Co-Host
José teaches philosophy and works as a data analyst in New York City. In between grading papers and slicing data, he thinks about the problems of public life and writes about topics such as racist jokes, the appropriateness of hope, and the dangers of intellectual solution-giving. While working primarily as a pragmatist, he is unusually eclectic (for a philosopher) and sees value in different philosophical traditions. He feels Slytherin is misunderstood.
Dan Short
Editor and Engineer
Dan Short does many things like an amateur, but he sits down like a professional. He has spent weeks sitting on a bicycle and decades sitting in front of computers (he’s probably sitting right now). Most of his time is spent as a Visual Effects artist for television, commercials, and movies. He’s always loved a good conversation and spending time with people smarter than himself. Working on Think Hard allows him to listen to fascinating conversations, make something beautiful, and sit - three of his passions. He dreams of bicycling the Pacific Coast again, but with his entire family (once his daughter is old enough to pedal herself).
