I'm indifferent to nuclear, hostile to fossil fuels, with extreme prejudice.

I would be horrified by cheap fusion but thankfully it's still beyond clever shit-throwing monkeys like ourselves.

My own "business plan" sucks. It always has. First (officially) logged onto the internet in 1979. Not wealthy. Fucked up, rejected any "insider" wealth. Often.

Quit ARCO Solar.

If WalMart or the U.S. Air Force asked me for advice (and they never have) I'd still tell them to go fuck themselves in some potentially fatal manner. With a Cholla Cactus is something I sometimes say.

I'm not fit for politics or big business, never have been. I'm the burner of thesis advisors (three of them) and multiple people who accepted me as "intern."

That's how I learned to be a pacifist and observer. Whatever will be will be. Take a walk on the wild side. Gently. I gave up bite-hands-off wild thing.

In the end we humans are just an interesting layer of trash in the geological layers of Earth.

I have quite a bit of training and experience as a paleontologist and evolutionary biologist. Tar and dirt on bones. Nasty solvents. A paleontologist got me readmitted to college when I'd struck out twice...

Math? Doesn't scare me. I'm not so great at that but have monomaniacal OCD friends and acquaintances who are.

Yep, I've met Amory, Hunter, Helen, Buckmister, and god damned fuck I was pissed when the Hardins offed themselves. I probably hurt more now than they ever did, me getting out of bed this morning, but in their defense this may be one of my Catholic issues.

I welcome you to p.m. me.
