The primary tenet of this blog is to recognize that life is amazing and to celebrate it. Sometimes I focus on our biggest problems because I think it’s valuable to promote thinking about them, but in the end, there is so much good and beauty in our world.

We exist in a universe abundant with phenomena like gravity and magnetism, a floating soup with the necessary ingredients to create the just so right conditions for a fascinating blue marble. On this wondrous planet that we inhabit there are volcanoes and sea slugs and cryptocurrency; kindness and love abound everywhere.

Life is beautiful. Let us not forget this most simple reality as we push forward on the path of progress.
