CURRENT MISSION

“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.” Thoreau

ABOUT ME
There are very few things I enjoy more than discussing new ideas with interesting people. We could seriously discuss anything from religion to the philosophy of cosmology and I will remain deeply interested. Learning and teaching are my drugs, my glorious occupations, and callings. Thinking is the reason I exist and my reason to exist. Cogito ergo sum.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life constantly looking for truth and exercising those things which I already deem to be true.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am addicted to online MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courseware). I have successfully completed around 30 courses ranging from Modern and Contemporary American Poetry, Philosophy, Anthropology, and Computational Thinking. I love to talk about what I've learned, but most of all I like to hear people talk about what *they've* learned.
