CURRENT MISSION

To learn, to teach, and to have no regrets

ABOUT ME

I was born in the United States and moved back and forth between North America and Israel my whole life. I am now in Jerusalem (after ten years in Toronto), studying math and physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is a mix of humanism and utilitarianism. I think that the greatest faculty of nature is humanity, and that the progress of human understanding and interaction should always be prioritized. Having said that, I have little patience for those who hinder peace and scientific progress.
I live my life because I haven't found something better to do with it. If some kind of meaning had to be placed, I'd say that my ultimate goal in life is to be able to understand fundamental truths about the universe.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite movies are Amelie, V for Vendetta, and In Bruges. I listen to different music depending on the day and depending on my mood. I like hardcore, indie rock, and Simon and Garfunkel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen some pretty cool things, and I've done some pretty fun things too... But the most amazing thing I've done is build myself. It's true... My parents gave me a blueprint and I literally made myself from raw materials. Like, we're talking legs, arms, stomach, brain, eyes, etc.. I made it all MYSELF. I think that's something pretty cool.
Also, I once saw the empress of Japan and in grade 2, I saw a giraffe giving birth.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share the physics I've learned. I like sharing personal epiphanies and strange stories. I collect conspiracy theories (though I personally don't believe in any)
