Math I can understand -- there is nothing more beautiful and exciting than some mathematics, except perhaps Mozart and Beethoven. But philosophy? Took a class as a freshman back in '62, with high hopes I would find out things worth knowing. But most of the philosophers we studied were more about logic than insight. In what way did it inspire you?

Tim Tigner The heart of Philosophy is attempting to understand the big questions. I find that analysis fascinating. I use the same comprehensive analytical methods to develop my plots, which in addition to original I attempt to make serpentine yet sensible and logically air tight.

Philosophy also inspired me to get the most out of my +/- 80 years. To begin with the end in mind so I could look back without regret. That boils down to experiencing and accomplishing as much as possible. That perspective remains a driver for me, and fortunately my wife.

Thanks for the thoughtful question, Kelly.
