👋 Hey, I'm Doug

I'm glad you've stumbled across my corner of the web!

I'm more interested in verbs than nouns. That is to say I think that what we're actually doing at any given time is more important than the box we choose to draw around it.

I also believe that the values that drive our actions are fundamentally important, which is why I'm fond of this saying:

"Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it." (Epictetus)
