About

Futurist.  I make things work better.

Some brief stats:

  • I vary between ENFJ  (Protagonist) and INTJ (Architect); I’m a dead-center ambivert.  Since there are decades of evidence showing problems with the MBTI, here are my Big Five traits:

    (Descriptions).


  • I find IQ tests severely lacking in both their accuracy and coverage.  I vastly prefer Thomas Armstrong’s accessible introduction to Howard Gardner’s “Multiple Intelligences” research, as it’s far more useful.  My personal stats (out of 10):  Music 10, Logic 9.5, Intrapersonal 8.5, Linguistic 8.5, Spacial 8, Kinesthetics 7, Interpersonal 6, Naturalist 6 (estimated), Existential 8 (estimated)

  • I have a 30-year plan I use for guidance on how to invest my time and energy.

  • I’m a polymath; my hobbies range all over the map, from organic chemistry to quantum physics, from music as a language for emotion to augmented reality, from the human singularity to 6000-piece sand dune puzzles.

  • I rank near the extreme end (~90%) of the Sensory Processing Sensitivity spectrum.

  • The emerging field of Value Dynamics is a huge passion for me; it is the “physics” that underlies all of our actions and motivations, but it’s still so poorly understood by most people.  That’s why I’m writing a book on it.

  • What I’m best at is Business Strategy with a high-precision technical focus, integrating economics, politics, social, and technology efficiently.

  • I have a super power.  Of course, it comes with a super weakness.  Don’t they all?
