- How did you find PF?
- I was looking for any discussions on the difference between the impact of a bullet versus a punch. Google brought me here.
Budding theoretical physicist in my late teens. Work and partyaholic in my twenties. Fiber optic cable splicer in my thirties. Engineering assistant and entrepreneur in my forties.
My interests have evolved widely in the past 20 years starting with physics, chemistry and math and branching out into electronics, engineering, optics, philosophy, religion, politics, neuroscience, networking, computer programming, data science, quantum biology, robotics, neural networks, and entrepreneurialship.
Due to my expanded range of interests and working a full time job, I am, by no means an expert at anything outside of being average in everything. I seek to understand more than be "correct." I explore new ideas and create many of my own. I always try to find a use for everything; even those things most people find repugnant and worth eradicating.
This view on life has deep roots in stoicism and pragmatism as well as a highly refined understanding of material and ideal existence. I am predisposed to apply ideas and concepts in one field of study to other, seemingly, unrelated fields which makes me seem eccentric, if not insane, at times. However, the definition of 'insane' is generally conflated with 'not normal,' and looking at the world today, I am glad to not be 'normal.'
