About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to invent the flying couch. Should I go with a rotary wing or airship design?

ABOUT ME

It is difficult to pin down a depiction of myself, because every time I observe something about myself that I don't like, I then change myself. Consequently, much of the stuff I have confirmed about myself becomes invalid. Meh... perfection is overrated.

I know the trick. Pick something general:
I think, therefore I am. Naturally, a description of self arises from this assertion of the existence self. It's epistemological mad libs!

Incidentally, I tend to say/do things somewhat randomly in order to evoke interesting results in the people I am around.

PHILOSOPHY

Libertarian, nihilist, agnostic, rationalist, irrationalist, empiricist, curious, luposlipaphobiac.

Interests

  • design
  • flying
