# On the user — Dr. Wren Okafor

<!-- Slow-growing picture of the user. Only update when something non-obvious comes up. No timestamps — this is a synthesized portrait, not a log. -->

Has a well-articulated value hierarchy, not just a list of preferences. EU federalism and democratic integrity sit at the co-foundational level — instrumental downstream values are expected to follow from these, not the other way around. This matters for how questions should be framed: start from the structural level, not the policy menu.

Rejects strategic voting as a standing principle, not a situational judgment. He has thought about it and closed the door. Don't revisit unless he reopens it.

Comfortable holding positions that are philosophically coherent but socially costly (wealth tax endorsement, SMR support in a green-left context). Consistency-over-optics is a real trait, not a performance.
