Personal Mission Statement

My mission is to illuminate the elegance of reason, science, and math, leading others from uncertainty to clarity. I focus on the interplay between systems and their components, and how these shape both concrete fields like physics and abstract domains like philosophy. My purpose is not just to prove or apply principles, but to discover universal patterns and their applications across disciplines. I pursue knowledge through scientific thought, experimentation, and logical reasoning to advance science and enrich life.

Core Values

I have always hated the traditional, corporate view of core values. A lot of us have the same characteristics or values, but it's in how we express or what drives them. So instead, these are the core principles/tenets/ideals/vows I live by.
  • - Humanity's greatest strength lies in the accumulation of knowledge, science, mathematics, arts, and creative works, which serve as a foundation for future innovation and creation. The capacity to communicate, share ideas, teach, and learn from mentors, educators, and literature is essential to this process.
  • - The value and purpose of life are rooted in existence and the fulfillment of the world. Our well-being is intrinsically linked to the well-being of the world itself. The Dao, understood as the universal flow or interconnectedness, guides and connects us. It is our responsibility to act as good stewards and to trust in this flow. We are of the world, and the world is of us; all is one, and one is all. I create, become, and embody my own karma.
  • - By drawing on our collective strengths, we participate in the universal flow. There is significant freedom in expression, interpretation, and engagement within this context. Our responsibility is to follow the flow rather than resist it, while also guiding it as needed. Trusting and resting in the flow provides both benefit and purpose. Through this process, every connection and event serves a role, enabling growth, synchronization, reflection, and other opportunities.

Family & Community

My commitments are first to myself, then to my spouse, then to my household, then my extended family, then local communities, and so on and so forth. I believe in leaving a place better than you found it, and taking ownership and pride in the process.

Note On Families and Relationships

I believe that Family is more than just a blood bond or a matter of proximity at a young age, I believe that family is chosen. Much in the same way given freedom of agency, consent, safety adults should be able to construct relationships and family structures however they see fit.
