Teach, Learn, Share
Its always nice to listen to people who know how to listen in that kind of existentially re-assuring way.
I'm also keen to learn from people who consistently groom a unified bodies of knowledge. A history of any scale, a philosophy of any level of coherence (though to be fair, very skeptical of generic new-age platitudes)
