For Islam Hakim, truth is an asymptotic objective he wants to go towards. His deepest value in life is willingly submitting to the Source of Wisdom. He inquires, How do we personally build our systems of knowledge to contribute to optimally aligned collective truth?
Islam answers these questions posed by Andrius Kulikauskas, host of Math 4 Wisdom. Islam also defines himself as a human being, a Muslim, an individual with autism, a neurally diverse person.
Islam leads our new Math 4 Wisdom Study Group on the Landscape of Truth. Andrius has been collecting answers about our relationships with truth as well as our deepest values in life.
