Jesse Bollinger

Jesse Bollinger is an author, game developer, computer programmer, mathematician, and logician. He has also occasionally experimented with 3D modeling (both traditional geometry manipulation and digital sculpting), animation, and music composition. Mixing creativity and logical reasoning skills together to push the boundaries of what's possible and to entertain people is one of his greatest passions in life. He also loves hiking and just soaking in the natural beauty of the world. He has a bachelor's of science degree in computer science with a concentration in game design and a minor in mathematics. Before graduating in computer science though, he almost completed a math degree before switching to computer science. He studies logic, math, programming, and game development frequently in his free time. However, titles and degrees mean almost nothing compared to the substance and spirit of ideas though. The only true authority on anything is evidence. Progress requires both objectivity and creativity. Artificial barriers to innovation are pointless and toxic. Jesse has a passion for uninhibited and imaginative thinking, because that is the best kind of thinking for discovering interesting new ideas. He isn't afraid to push aside artificial barriers (e.g. empty traditions, pedantry, seniority, middlemen, prejudice, elitism, politics, gatekeeping, bootlicking, authority-based "thinking", censorship, conformity, etc) if that's what it takes to create value for his fellow human beings. To find the truth we must be brave enough to question our own assumptions, regardless of what other people believe. We must be willing to be wrong, if we ever want to be right. We must not let fear or bias cripple our ability to think freely and to live freely.
