From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baltarstar is an Apprentice Editor 3 captivated by human responses to crises of all kinds. Those high-stakes critical junctures where decision-makers must act with limited time and information, often in competition with each other, represent the climactic moments of the human drama. Baltarstar's contributions aim to deepen our understanding of these crisis moments, hoping that our collective knowledge will one day enable us to build a global society capable of transcending the challenges of our time in order to thrive in a long age of light and life.

Baltarstar and Cyrus

Baltarstar served five years in the United States Marine Corps, then graduated magna cum laude from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science in Economics, focusing on Policy Analysis, and a minor in Political Science, focusing on International Relations.
