First Principles
tulsa, oklahoma, United States
This blog is an effort to improve my writing and sharpen my focus on current events and issues that concern me. It already feels very scatterbrained and lacks a unifying theme except for one. I process all my ideas and beliefs through first principles or basic assumptions about human behavior. I imagine this blog will take a different shape a year from now but I can't imagine what the focus will be. In the process though, I'm learning to be a better researcher and writer. That is enough for now.
