Welcome

Hello my name is Daniel Kwik and welcome to my canvas where I think with the 'garage door open'.

This is where I do habitual, informal thinking with no fixed agenda, or end-goal. They are designed to be:

1. Intentionally Unpolished. Here, you will not find academic writing, but concise and densely-linked ideas. I sacrifice precision for discovery.
2. Domain Agnostic. I tend to have a lot of interests, so instead of focusing on one broad topic, I'll make broad connections between domains, in pursuit of lateral thinking.
3. Non-Prescriptive. Each thought reflects one muse at one moment in my life. You may have different thoughts (on faith, for example). That's great - reach out and let's refine our thinking together.

So. I invite you to take a journey of exploration with me. Come further up & further in!
