Hi there!

I'm Steve Smart ... there are many ways people describe me, but really I'm just a regular guy living in Perth, Western Australia. 

I have a passion for thinking about stuff. Any stuff really, but particularly things that make our world a better place. 

'The Smartest' is a collection of ideas. Many are my own, most are stolen, but I think you'll find that pretty much all of them are interesting.

<em>Why should you read 'The Smartest' ?</em>

Well there are two reasons really... 

If <strong>you want to challenge your opinions</strong> and develop a mature view of the world and your place in it, then most of what you read here will be of interest. 

Alternatively, you might just be interested in one of my focus topics. For example, if <strong>you have a passion for business</strong>, then I hope that some of my experiences l may help you with your endeavour. 

Or if <strong>you are interested in pragmatic politics</strong>, I regularly discuss ideas about how we can get the best outcomes for society as a whole, without being constrained by ideological dogmatism.

From time to time I also discuss health, philosophy, psychology and travel. 

Or you might not be interested at all. Well, that's fine too. 

Maybe the Smartest place on the net is not for you.
