#Introduceyourself -- Me - in a nutshell. I am a nerd and I like to lift heavy things (and put them down again)

Hi all. I aim to introduce myself, but I decline to post a picture of myself. Why? Because I absolutely despise pictures of myself. I dislike them even more when they are bound to become part of a permanent irreversible blockchain. So, perhaps this will not be rewarded by the community. That is the risk I am taking. But, I hope there will be a place for me in the new social blockchain economy nonetheless. Time will tell.
So - here goes ...

I learned about Steemit via my interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchains. I have long been well aware of the way that corporations like FaceBook profit off of my (and our) curatorial labor and the care I show to my “friends” on their site, selling me to advertisers as though “consumer” summed up my existence on this great planet. So, the idea of a social media site that paid me for my labor towards its value was appealing to me right off the bat.

This is perhaps the first thing to know about me — I like to think and learn and research and read and write. I am a nerd, and a geek. I also like to lift heavy things, mostly in the gym, but I like to think that is a transferable skill.
I’ll admit it is an eccentric mix.

Through my interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchains, which now includes steemit, I have been nurturing an interest in anarchy. Right now, I am interested in it as a political philosophy, but I do not rule out the possibility that I might become interested in dedicating some of my energy to making it a viable way to live a principled life.

So, I am hoping that I can learn from people on steemit who’ve thought about this more deeply than I have.

Thank you for reading this brief introduction. I hope this is only the beginning!
