What has been your single greatest epiphany, or what is the smartest thing you've ever thought?

I was 16 years old and I was showering and as I remember it, I was thinking about why certain things meant so much to people, then it struck me that there are two modes of thinking. In terms of what matters to the universe and what matters to people, this was my mental maturity. It seems really basic, but it came to me on my own for that I'm proud. This is the basis for existentialism but I've come to build my life around that I think, not consciously either and it's empowered me.

The smartest thing I ever thought?

There are only TWO great rules in life!

single greatest epiphany was when I realized my kids were correct and god was just a figment of the imagination and not real
