Inspiration

I’ve come to respect a subset of thinkers and authors whose attitudes converge around:

• Creative capitalism (e.g., Bill Gates and other common-good-capitalists)
• Historically informed Christian realism (Reinhold Niebuhr, etc.)
• Greek and Roman Stoicism (Zeno of Citium, Cato the Younger, Seneca, Epectitus, Marcus Aurelius)
