I AM a Luddite.
There are always alternatives, not "there is no alternative".
Believer in the Politics of Care.
Married to a wonderful wife w/ 2 adult sons in Calgary. I like getting out on my bike. I care about social justice.
Unemployed or semi-retired? I would actually love to work (part time? consultation?) w/ purpose on something not destructive.
Ph.D. in physics & nearly 28 year career in IT.
"Debts that cannot be paid will not be paid."
