Intro of MZ

Greetings, Steemers! (I hope that's an acceptable term?)

I'm new here. So new, that I'm not yet fully aware of all the features, capabilities and options of this platform. However, I'm 100% excited to participate in Steem!
I'm a little unsure as to how I'll go about it. Write my own blog and then also post my content here? Or, exclusively write my content here, foregoing a personal blog? But...I digress...

This is an 'intro', so let's get to it...
Years ago, I met a traveling photographer. He roamed the country, searching for interesting subjects, and in his journey, we crossed paths in Fargo, ND. He set up his 'models' with a little blackboard, and asked that you write a short message of how you would describe yourself if you only had this paper sized blackboard, and your visual appearance. "Beyond your looks, how do you want to be seen?" he asked. This is when I created my personal narrative of existence. I wrote, "I'm a philosopher, trapped in a linebacker's body."

Today, I add interchangeable prefixes to my existence of being a philosopher.
I'm a business philosopher. A fitness & health philosopher. A sociology philosopher of technology and automation/AI, and how it will shape society in years to come. I am a Cynic, moreso than a Stoic. And I am detrimentally interested in the human condition.
I firmly believe that Maslow had it right. The highest form of becoming human is to self-actualize. But then, as a society, we got the 'self-actualization' part entirely wrong. More about this in an upcoming post.

Anyways, enough about me! What about you?

Glad to be here!
