"Great minds discuss ideas;
average minds discuss events;
small minds discuss people."
"They who can give up
essential liberty
to obtain a little
temporary safety,
deserve neither liberty nor safety."
"The seeker-after-truth does not place his trust in any consensus, however broad or however venerable: instead, he subjects what he has learned of it to his hard-won scientific knowledge, and he scrutinizes, measures, and verifies ... The road to the truth is long and hard, but that is the road we must follow."
(أبو علي، الحسن بن الحسن بن الهيثم)
(c. 965 – c. 1040 CE), the father of the scientific method
I live in Provincetown, Massachusetts, which is located at the very tip of Cape Cod. I am both a technologist, having been a computer consultant for over 20 years, and a moderate conservationist, having served as Chairman of the Town of Provincetown's Conservation Commission.
