Doesn’t care about: money, tact, becoming a ‘man of letters,’ spreadsheets, graphs, cubicles, executive focus groups, mentoring, and action items
Does care about: family, running a 2:29 marathon, what it means to realize that all of us will be dust in less than one-hundred years (see ‘doesn’t care about subject’), getting a historical marker, living in a Manichean world
