You might be looking at this page to find something about the kind of
person I am and the causes I support. As the society and academia get
increasingly polarized, it has come to the point that you might
be looking here trying to get a sense whether
you will be safe interacting with me. The answer is YES. Regardless of
your beliefs and political and other affiliations.
In the last three years I happened to learn a lot about the effects of
trauma on humans. I ended up almost completely withdrawing from the world
while trying to help just one little human get through these effects.
As a result, I cannot help but see some of what is going on in the world
as processing of collective trauma. It turns out that I am not alone, and
psychologists are thinking about this.
My goal for the near term is not to add to the amount of trauma in the
world; there is already too much.

It has links to the people and places that shaped me.
Unfortunately, is largely
obsolete -- the world was in much better shape back then. I miss the
light-hearted "politics" section that was all about Mathematics journal
prices.
