Yo dawgs, I'm Nate. I try to leave things better than I found them. I really like to talk about anything in a philosophical context, as well as the history of ideas and how things are connected. Talk to me about things like religion, meaning, behavior, human nature, teaching, exponential growth (with its great benefits and pitfalls), systems theory, and about our place as humans in this universe.

I have some ability in teaching. If you have trouble seeing why a certain subject should be of interest to you, I may be able to help. I love learning and have wide interests and I am able to draw on knowledge gained from long hours spent brewing over concepts to condense and simplify broad and complicated topics into easily digestible tid bits. I attempt to understand how you see the world and use metaphor and examples from your own life to reveal the hidden relevance between you and seemingly uninteresting or foreign concepts, as well as the interconnectedness of all human knowledge and endeavor, life on earth and the workings of the universe. Everything is connected somehow, everything is part of the whole, and all you need to do is find the connections and you can't help but be fascinated. Everything is interesting...you just need to put it in the right context. Or something like that.
