T. Bear is a curious person. ‘Curious’ as in ‘inquisitive,’ but also—probably—a little curious as in ‘strange.’ What makes him strange?
In reading about entropy and the arrow of time, he realized something intriguing and true, then he drew it (poorly), then he put it to work in his life (poorly, then iteratively better over time). A few years later, he started writing an essay about the valuable lessons he’d derived from his layman’s understanding of the arrow of time and its implications, scoffing at anyone who said he should just take a year and write a book about it. He then spent the next year writing and editing a book about it and, four months of joyous self-publishing later, he wrote this bio in the third person and stuck with it, even after it started feeling weird.
If you are also inquisitive—and if truth matters to you—you might want to read Wick Tendrils Flame: Lessons from Psychology, Neuroscience, and the Arrow of Time in an Age of Mismatch.
