I edited the intelligence cycle graphic from Wikipedia and generated this butterfly effect graphic with Google Gemini. I'm fascinated by the historical throughline of weather science between figures like Lewis Fry Richardson, John von Neumann, and Edward Lorenz.

We all share the same environment, and our collective dialogue—among everyday people, creators, journalists, researchers, and professionals—forms a mass intelligentsia. I follow my curiosity to make sense of it all as I live my life and navigate the web.

A Prayer for Our Environment from Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’

All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures.
You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
Pour out upon us the power of your love,
that we may protect life and beauty.
Fill us with peace, that we may live
as brothers and sisters, harming no one.
O God of the poor,
help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth, so precious in your eyes.
Bring healing to our lives,
that we may protect the world and not prey on it,
that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction.
Touch the hearts of those who look only for gain
at the expense of the poor and the earth.
Teach us to discover the worth of each thing,
to be filled with awe and contemplation,
to recognize that we are profoundly united
with every creature as we journey towards your infinite light.
We thank you for being with us each day.
Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle
for justice, love and peace.

We are all connected in this environment. Butterfly effects emerge from our anthropogenic activities. I believe in the Ubuntu philosophy of "I am because we are" and the importance of collaboration over the Great Man Theory.

My faith, hope, and charity emerge from the complexity of our relationships. I draw inspiration from the history of the Aramaic word "Ephphatha" ("be opened") and believe in the Immaculate Heart and Immaculate Conception of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Every possibility is only a series of events away, and time is simply a measurement.

I am thankful for my intelligence, my family, and my home. Growing up in Fairfield, Connecticut, I have seen the consequences of wealth inequality between Bridgeport and Westport. I am grateful for the passionate teachers, emergency responders, and healthcare workers who have supported me.

I encourage everyone to read the Scout Oath and Law; the teaching of reverence has stuck with me the most.
