I enjoy knowledge for its own sake. I have always held that truth is worth pursuing. I’m excited if I can learn something new, whatever that may be. My day gets even better if I can apply that knowledge to achieving a goal, making a process better, or otherwise improving a situation.

I’ve come around to the view that where it’s appropriate and useful for me to judge others, which is rarely, the best criteria is virtue in the sense of excellence. Pragmatically it’s often better to figure out some criteria you share in common and work from that basis when addressing disagreements.

I’d like to see a world where individuals are free to pursue their passions and become the best versions of themselves they can be. What little I can do to help that process along is worthwhile, so I do what I can where I am with that in mind.
