Why the name Superset?

We all have our own set of opinions about life, happiness, politics etc.  The Superset shamelessly pilfers the best ideas from historical and contemporary thinkers and wraps them in bacon — something we should all metaphorically love. If you are interested in tolerance, equality, and leaving the world a better place for those coming after us, Superset will satisfy your cravings.

Why the term Valerianism?

Because it’s a world view centered in value. Also, in Latin the term valere means “to be strong, be well”.

Who is Brett?

For years I suffered from a multiple personality disorder. The rational part of my brain is atheist, the superstitious part is devout Mormon. I was raised with both Conservative political views and Liberal interpersonal values. How did I go from multiple personality disorder to multiple personality order? It’s a winding tale of undiscovered illness, heroic best friendship, obsession, and travel. I’ll have to tell you about it sometime.
