I spend any free time I have just having fun. That can be anything from field equations, water balloons, game theory, lego machines, writing jokes, and fighting traffic tickets. I’ll be the first to tell you that I have had (and built) some stupid ideas. But I’m incredibly fortunate to have learned and grown with so many amazing friends over my short life.
As I get older, the new problems look the same as when I was a kid. I still get in fights, I still call out bullies, I still support my friends, and I love having fun. I believe in objective truth, personal responsibility, individual liberty, and technology’s power to create a free and just society. The world is full of these fascinating puzzles, and I want to help solve them.
I’m no Socrates, but at least I want to be.- The income tax must be 0%.
- NJ must decriminalize all drug use and vacate nonviolent sentences. Too much money is wasted every year prosecuting nonviolent drug offenses and ruining lives.
- No one should go without healthcare. If we're going to spend money, let's do it compassionately. NJ will strategically deregulate healthcare incentives and make healthcare cheaper and more affordable to everyone, while still guaranteeing it.
