Politics: The right fit for the time and place. Currently the US needs something that both parties can't offer. Capital is too locked down. A death to lobbying and a progressive marginal tax rate on all income would be a start. Politics trails technology, and it should. Spiritual: I am a mortal consciousness on an island in a sea of time and space. Occasionally this freaks me out, but mostly I enjoy this seemingly impossible situation that I am in. Religion: None. Raised Catholic. Like philosophy to a flea on a dog, I suspect the entirety of the situation may be beyond us. That said, the scientific method seems to work perfectly well for that which we can perceive. Human-centrist explanations for the universe seem absurd to me. We are understandably very important to ourselves, but you only need to look up to see that there is a much larger story going on. Personal: No one is special, but some people do special things. I try to make my time worthwhile and to keep learning. The state of our world is the result of our actions, no excuses.
