Many of the atoms in my body formed shortly after the big
bang. The others emerged billions of years later from
one or more supernova explosions somewhere in the vicinity
of Orion's Belt. The organs and tissues of my body were
assembled according to a plan encoded in a double helix
molecular code generated by a genetic algorithm running in
a photoelectrochemical analog computer. The requisite
local reduction in entropy was provided by high-energy
photons emitted from a gravity-driven fusion reactor
located approximately ten of your earth light minutes
away. A recent drift in evolutionary selection pressure
away from predator avoidance and toward social capacity has
resulted in a mutation which allows my species to
cognitively model each other's psychology and express
abstract concepts to one another by means of language.

Also, I recently learned how to play Go. It's pretty fun,
but computers are easy to beat.

Like anyone, I'm looking for a group of friends who distort
spacetime in linear proportion their mass and enjoy
discussing topics of interest while participating in
stimulating activities. I am especially interested in
individuals with an appreciation for the often amusing
inconsistencies between sense and meaning.
