Notes informed by a life spent at the periphery but in spitting distance from the center: Ann Arbor, Budapest, Cambridge. I lived under various isms, through revolutions, experienced freedom, and the pressure to conform. I am interested in how people can create better systems and how good systems can make better people. To understand why the periphery is important, read [[How the Provinces Conquer]]. Email [email protected] or connect on [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/in/kflautner). — Kris
