I’ve worked in a variety of occupations, but mostly in computer programming and landscaping. I’m retired, but I help my wife prepare the lessons for the university English classes she’s teaching where we’re currently living, in China. Sometimes I do origami with children. Most of our lives we have also done some kind of mentoring together. We also play WoW, Guild Wars II, and Animal Crossing; and we hang out in Malls and at Starbucks.
Some of favorite reading has been science fiction, Dr Seuss, L. Frank Baum, Tolkien, math, detective mysteries, and Lovecraft.
At the heart and center of my life is continually working to improve my character, my conduct, and the way I live my life, to help make the world better for all people everywhere. I use some religious scriptures to help me do that, and my ways of thinking are partly what I’ve learned from those. Some other influences have been Ayn Rand, Alfred Korzybski, Soren Kierkegaard, NLP, Dinkmeyer and Losoncy, Gerard Egan, Carl Rogers, Dorothy of Oz, math, physics, electronics, map projections, my wife, my children, and of course my parents. That’s just a sampling; there have been many others.
I’ve had training and experience in Christianity and in the Baha’i Faith, and for a few months I explored a pagan path. On the Internet I’ve spent a lot of time with atheists, Christians and Baha’is; with gay and anti-gay activists; and in Gamergate, Elevatorgate, and a Red Pill YouTube circle. That’s just a sampling also.
There’s a god at the center of my life and the way I think, but how I think about Him is continually evolving. I’m discussing my current way of thinking in another thread.
