I am Jeff Stevens, aka Kardinal. I have been online since 1988, so I respond to both names.

You may have bumped into me at Wakefield, Steubenville, DAOC Percival, JMCS, FEPOC, the Trimmers, as a TK Little, World of Warcraft (AIE, CTR), the Krewe of TechEd/Ignite, or other places. During the day, I am an IT engineer (Microsoft cloud mostly), and at night I am usually still on a screen playing, learning, or trying to pass on what knowledge I've managed to learn.

I am and always have been #nevertrump.

My area of greatest interest recently is in cognitive and social psychology. That is, the real reasons people behave as we do. Favorite authors in this area include Haidt, McRaney, Thaler, Kahneman, Ariely, and Storr. I have also dabbled in studies of the military, theater, philosophy, history, technology, video games, and firearms.

I used to try to figure out what is true and what is not. As I got older, I realize that my ability to draw any strong conclusions on that is very limited. These days, I do the best I can to be the best person I can, and maybe help others do the same. And enjoy the ride along the way.
