Learning, thinking,
and creating.

I've always had a natural curiosity for learning about a wide range of subjects. At first that was mostly in the natural sciences and technology, but over time I became just as interested in the humanities and the social sciences. Across all of those disciplines one thread has emerged: my interest in the evolution, the current state and the possible future of our species. I try to understand that at two levels. At the individual level, I'm interested in how evolution shaped us, how our bodies and brains work today, and how we can live in line with our biology and psychology in the modern world. At the collective level, I'm interested in how humanity has developed as a whole, where we stand now, and where we might be heading.

Learning, though, is only worth much if you do something with it that benefits yourself or others. I also think it matters to look critically at what you learn and to form your own perspective on it. That's why I write about what I've learned: it forces me to think clearly and to work out what I actually think about a subject. And publishing those thoughts online opens them up to criticism, which is a reliable way to find your blind spots and mistakes.

Beyond writing, turning ideas into real-world applications is what I see as the ultimate goal. With every project I try to make it as complete as possible within its own domain.
