About meI'm an amateur earthling seeking to facilitate the Universe's deep, persistent, joyful understanding of itself. At the moment, I think the most important thing we can do in this vein is to increase the sustainability of human civilization.

About my libraryMostly non-fiction at the moment... energy, environment, religion, science, finance, philosophy. I need to lighten up a bit.
