Baltarstar is a Novice Editor captivated by human responses to crises of all kinds. Those high-stakes critical junctures, where decision-makers must act with limited time and information, often in competition with each other, represent the climactic moments of the human drama. Baltarstar's contributions aim to deepen our understanding of these crisis moments, hoping that our collective knowledge will one day enable us to build a global society capable of enduring the challenges of our time to thrive in a long age of light and life.

Baltarstar served five years in the United States Marine Corps, then graduated summa cum laude from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science in Economics, focusing on Policy Analysis, and a minor in Political Science, focusing on International Relations. Now, he works part-time tending his partner's farm animals, practices the wu wei, and contributes to Wikipedia.

Topics of focus include climate change adaptation, current events, disasters, forecasting, geopolitics, hegemonic instability (e.g.; Wars of the Diadochi, Peloponnesian War, or Sengoku period), and societal collapse.
