ABOUT ME

Totally not a hipster, I swear!

Just a scientist-philosopher trying to find his way in the world. I like relating to people in new and interesting ways, and if I have learned anything from my travels is that humans are more alike than they are different.

PHILOSOPHY

From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.
