CURRENT MISSION To experience and respect the world in all of its diversity: its people and cultures. ABOUT ME I am an Associate of Aesthetic Realism which is the philosophy founded by the American poet and critic, Eli Siegel. In seminars at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation in Soho, I have spoken on such subjects as: "Mind and Body: Can a Man Use Both to Be Kind?", "The Pleasures and Perils of Conceit", "What Do Fathers and Sons Really Want from Each Other?" and "What Stops a Man from Having True Love?" I have also discussed artists such as Diego Rivera, Alberto Giacometti, Louise Nevelson, and Roy Lichtenstein. You can read some of the papers I've presented by going to my blog: www.StevenWeiner.net PHILOSOPHY What I've learned from Aesthetic Realism: The difference of the world should not be "tolerated" by me; rather, it is a way of completing myself. The more interested I am in the world and people, the bigger, deeper person I become!

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Since I live in one of the best parts of Manhattan, I will try to open my door to as many CSer's as possible. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I really like the CSer's I've met so far. They are the kind of people that make the world a better place--open-minded, unsnobbish, and interested in many things, and different kinds of persons.

我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
How much we can learn from art about our own lives!
教学、学习、分享
Through my study of Aesthetic Realism, I can talk pretty deeply with other people about how they see the world, their families, love, the usefulness of art, and so much more. Meanwhile, I feel I have so much to learn from other people, too.
