A Favorite Way of Picturing Deep Time
Portraying geology and geology in terms of "deep time" (essentially goin back to the beginning of Earth and the solar system) isn't easy, but I think this picture does a reasonably good job of it.
I have to believe that what stands out more than anything else in me is my curiosity and passion for knowledge, truth, and understanding in so many fields, particularly nature and science, but also people and human psychology and various areas of technology.
I tend to be -- well, obsessive is probably the best word for it -- about solving interesting problems and mastering the knowledge needed to do so. When I find something interesting, it is very difficult to pull myself away from it. Although I am in many ways rather a loner, as I said I do like people, and I believe this obsessiveness is what accounts for my desire to understand other people.
