Paul Damien

To quote my favorite poet, Emily Dickinson:

“I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!”

One evening, after an extended happy hour, I felt there’s not much to be happy about.

Aided by a corrupt media, the American government’s policies, increasingly, are intended to control the way we live and think.

I decided to get involved. But what could one person possibly do to mitigate the flagrant abuse of power we’re witnessing? Quite a lot, actually.

We ‘Nobodys’ will talk bold so we too should be heard. It’s only in America where every Nobody can be a Somebody, thanks to the singular freedoms bestowed on us by our Constitution.

If the political deliberations leave us feeling blue, don’t fret! We ‘Nobodys’ are multi-dimensional creatures, so we shall have a lot of fun things to discuss, such as music, literature, poetry, travel, fitness, cooking…

And so, I hope you’ll accept my invitation to join in several Bold Tok conversations!

Born in India, Paul Damien completed his PhD in Mathematics from Imperial College, London, and a Master’s in Economics/Mathematics from Oklahoma State University. He’s an endowed professor at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas in Austin.

A recipient of multiple research awards, he has published over 100 articles in leading academic journals and industry publications. He was a finalist for the U.S. National Library of Poetry Award, and is the author of the thriller Nannerl’s Symphony—an Amazon Kindle book. He recently launched boldtok.com—a forum to discuss and disseminate ideas on a variety of topics.
