CURRENT MISSION

To connect people, ideas, resources, knowledge... to learn

PHILOSOPHY

I have a lot of guiding philosophies about a lot of things.
I am a strong beleiver in the power of action, in the capacities of humans to create a better and more just world. My life is deeply ingrained in empowering people to this effect..

I have some strong beliefs about the philosophy of knowledge and am finding myself party to post-normal science. I find parental investment, as far as human behavioral ecology and cultural evolution is concerned, to be a very important concept right now.

I beleive in the power of civil society, of strengthening common ground, and of grassroots social change and peoplepower. I beleive that sustainability and social justice are inextricably linked and that this serves to create a massive amount of common ground for all people regardless of beleifs, and have even gotten Conservatives to agree with me on this.
