Welcome to my journey, a life-long pursuit of knowledge. Learning new things shines a light in the darkness dispelling ignorance. It is the best way to experience personal growth and to contribute to the betterment of society. Ignorance is the only true enemy of humanity.
The wanzer.org domain and blog have been through many iterations over the years since I first registered it in the 1990s. Most recently it has been an attempt to provide a professional portfolio of work as a historian. This hasn’t really been working though, I have too many interests, personally and professionally. By training and practice I am a historian, philosopher, esotericist, and maker. These disciplines are deeply rooted in the way I process information, they are the foundations of the way I see and interact with the world around me. Historically this tiny spec of the internet has been in flux, seeking an illusive focus and a voice. For now at least, the search continues.
However you found your way to this space, I hope you find something interesting and useful.
