Thank you Felix. Nice to feel welcome. 

Grateful for the new opportunities and resources you've shared. We will look into them and keep them handy. 

I appreciate the website feedack...It is a work in progress and I could do much better at tidying things up that I won't likely get to in the near term. On it!

Thank you for your service to educate our friends and peers about the environment.

Take good care of yourself Felix.

How do folks! Stoked to have the opportunity to try and be a participant that contributes something meaningful here on the EA Forum. 

EA Forum Guidelines (and Aaron)...thank you for the guidance and encouraging me to write the bio. 

All, I'm new to the EA community. I'll hope to meet some of you soon. Please feel free to send a hello anytime. 

I see the "Commenting Guidelines". They remind me of the Simple Rules of Inquiry that I've used for many years. Are they a decent match for the spirit of this Forum?

1. Turn judgment into curiosity
2. Turn conflict into shared exploration
3. Turn defensiveness into self-reflection
4. Turn assumptions into questions

What do I care about?  I've been unanimously appointed to the post of lead head deputy associate administrator facilitator of my daughters' education (6 and 10) . I love them. Our educational praxis is designed to enable them to realize an evaluative evolution and create a future we want amidst the accelerating coevolution of Nature, Humans and AI. No presh. They spell great. Well, one out of two anyway.

I also care about the chill peeps sweeping the beach with metal detectors wearing headsets. I want to learn more but I don't want to be rude and interrupt what they are listening to. 

See you in the funny papers.

Matt

(I'm reading the commenting guidelines wondering which ones I violated. Like a historian, I'm not sure if I was explaining or pursuading. I certainly wasn't clear. I disagreed with almost everything I wrote...didn't I? Okay. So. How do I ask readers where they went after they got kicked off this Forum? Tbc, I want to stay.).
