✨ Patrick Compton is an autodidact polymath, independent researcher, multi-instrumentalist, and woodworker focusing mostly on existential psychotherapy, sociology, and evolutionary psychology. He implements pragmatic approaches to conquering mental and physical disorders, contends with partisan paradigms in education and politics, and seeks to widen perspectives by establishing transparency between the various sciences.
✨ He is the author of various philosophical essays under titles such as “The Tragedy of the Prison,” “The Car Metaphor and You,” “The Responsibility to Pursue Self-Betterment,” “The Trichotomy of Goal-Orientation,” “The Polymath, the Monomath, & the Institute."
Many excerpts from his most recent books, “How to be Less Disappointed in Humanity” and "The Diagnostic Default" are referenced in his video series. He plays the Chinese guzheng and 8-string guitar and has released various albums on Bandcamp and here on KZfaq combining Eastern and Western influences, incorporating recorded sounds from nature.
✨ Compton believes in humanity's potential and the duty to pursue one’s best self and navigate one’s best life. "The unexamined life is a life not worth living," and only through examination can we captain our complex Ship of Theseus through these ever-churning 21st-century waters.
