Hello, I'm John Shandy`, but you're welcome to call me Shandy for short. My areas of interest are: international finance, development economics, international development, international relations, geopolitics, risk management, astronomy, and secular humanism. I enjoy meeting new people from around the world and sharing culture. I am a natural born skeptic, but an eager and optimistic problem solver. If there's anything else you might like to know, just ask. :)

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

— Voltaire

A man's dreams are an index to his greatness.

Once we overcome our fear of being tiny, we find ourselves on the threshold of a vast and awesome universe that utterly dwarfs - in time, in space, and in potential - the tidy anthropocentric proscenium of our ancestors.

Life is sacred, that is to say it is the supreme value to which all other values are subordinate.

Every one of us is precious in the cosmic perspective. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.

The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.

— Anais Nin

I read so I can live more than one life in more than one place.
