About Me

CURRENT MISSION

developing a system of thought that will permit the navigation and exploration of the human experience

ABOUT ME

the spectrum of my emotions is so broad that i find it hard to characterize. I know that i seem to provoke strong and unforgettable emotions in people. Comments i have received; intelligent, funny, rude, childish, clever,boring, honest, rigid, incorrigible, defiant, lovable, dependable. Therefore, i guess i would be best described as unyielding and rigidly open minded and not tolerant of those who are not open to new ways of living and thinking. No idea or concept can be discarded without investigation and no idea can be acted upon without evidence.
My lifelong aspiration is understanding intelligence, both understanding what intelligence is and how to duplicate and extrapolate the concept of thought. Though I have done many things, I have always looked at these activities as distractions rather than vocations or diversions.

PHILOSOPHY

Life can be a joyous adventure if we only know how live.
There is always more than that which i know and probably more than that which can be known.
