Summary

After immersing myself in the design and politics realms, I realized that nature is an ideal candidate for governing all fields because its deep holistic design could help us properly shape our policies and built environment rather than chaining entities with industrial boundaries stemming from political interests. Ultimately, design is an art, and nature exhibits it best, which incentivized me to delve into writing to express my philosophy, debunk conspiracies, and learn languages to understand nature's diverse cultures.
