About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Return some anonymous favors from previous travels.

PHILOSOPHY

I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier. Life should be malleable and progressive; working from idea to idea permits that. Beliefs anchor you to certain points and limit growth; new ideas can't generate. Life becomes stagnant. (from Dogma)
