My Philosophy

strive to learn and pass on the knowledge to the next generation
one day humanity will understand the meaning of life and hopefully it will be more than ASCII 42 = "*" regex for whatever you want it to be,
and destiny is more than just a roll of a pair of dice with 42 dots (Lets nail down Quantum Entanglement)

May you Live Long (Intelligently) and Prosper and work on technology that matters.
