    Yet another 'voice' added to the mix.

    I'm a retired scientist, a native of Staten Island, NYC. My background, including a classic undergraduate education and graduate work in different fields, has hopefully broadened my outlook and understanding on some of the issues du jour. [Ed.: 'Issues' and 'Problems' differ in that issues are for arguing, problems are to be solved.]

    I've a background in statistics and a mental toolkit which includes causality and a highly sensitive logic error detector. If you wish to sum me in a label, 'secular humanist' is acceptable and accurate to a first approximation.

    Looking forward to interacting with those interested in serious exploration of this and that. I will not respond to those who attack me personally nor will I bother to read their posts. That's for children. At 86, I'm an adult.

    I'll withhold any thoughts on you until you actually start posting. Then we will see.

    Hi!

    A wise, Kissinger-like position. See you around.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well. Remember the Big 3: masks, had washing and physical distancing.
