I’m Ruby, and this is my blog. Let me tell you why I write it.

Current reality has its merits, and so do I.  But both reality and I are far from the limits from just how good we could be – we could be so amazing! I find that inspiring and I’m hell-bent to get there. I hope you’ll join me.

Here, I’ll share my thoughts and findings as I work to become stronger. I’ll write about whichever challenges I’ve been working of late. Recently, the general topic has been how to operate a human brain. This has led me to investigate matters such as emotion, willpower, motivation, burnout, attention, meditation, and the like. I’m a huge fan of the neglected virtue of scholarship, and I like to start my explorations by launching off existing science.

If you’re curious about who this uncomplacent bugger really is, here’s a picture of me. I’m from Melbourne, though I hope to move to the San Francisco Bay Area soon. I’ve nearly completed degrees in engineering, philosophy, and, psychology. I’m married to the best Canadian girl there ever was.
