CURRENT MISSION

To alleviate the status quo of this burden of mundanity, in whatever small way I can.

ABOUT ME

(From best friends' perspective):

Ivan is kinda weird. He's fairly quiet and has this pensive look on his face all the time. He's also got a pretty good sense of humor. Try not to take him too seriously. He knows a lot of stuff about a lot of things. I think he calls himself an "autodidact" or something like that.

He currently plans on being an air traffic controller, but I don't see him doing that for very long. His real passions lie elsewhere, in the sciences most likely.

PHILOSOPHY

Variation of the golden rule, mostly. People are just me in another form.

I try to be empathetic and charitable whenever and as much as possible.

Interests

Too many to list.
