Retired physicist & software developer. I've spent most of my life seriously thinking about those many topics of knowledge which are sadly missing from everyday conversations yet vitally important to mankind's survival. Our natural instincts are to act as tribal cave dwelling animals, yet tools of civilization have been thrust upon us due to our other instinct to imitate. We, as a species, are ineffectively imitating civilization. Whether we can grow these instincts, develop an innate philanthropic social temperament, is the key, and is an undecidable question. Thus, I establish my credentials as a nerd's nerd.
