What makes a Dwarf, a Dwarf?

Reckless ingenuity.
Beards.
Reckless determination.
Reckless stupidity.
The ability to end all life, accidentally.
The ability to end all life purposely.
Wanton slaughter.
Alcohol dependencies.
Being short/Small stature. (I'm looking at you DZA)
Doing the most inefficient thing possible in the most inefficient way possible to achieve an unknown goal usually not even known by the dwarf performing such a task until the task is complete... And such the goal turns out to be useless, dangerous or both
The ability to admire doors.
The ability to tantrum.
The ability to make sense of the illogical and physics defying.
The ability to make problems out of the simplest of tasks...
The ability to make demons out of the most mundane of animals.
Soap making.
Magma.
Machines and contraptions... Pretty much anything involving mechanisms.
The ability to protect one's sanity with fine roasts and lovely halls filled with golden statues of roaches
Immense hatred of everything that moves. (Includes inanimate objects)... Wait...
Living underground

The essence of being a dwarf is being inefficient... with unerring efficiency  :P

therefore I chose inefficiency.

But... But why? D:

Being a dwarf = never asking that question.

I believe that a dwarf is the product of his culture. which is to say, the Mountainhome makes the dwarf. If not for the legendary dining hall, with masterpiece roasts of everything from panda liver to giant mole sweetbread, the endless drunken parties, the harsh justice of the Hammer- without these we do not have Dwarves. without these we get Goblins. also Goblinite, which is proof of industry by the goblins to mine, smelt, and craft metal, to domesticate creatures and shave trolls for their hair, to learn the arts of War.

the dwarf is the master of the riddle of Steel, where others use only iron. the dwarf is the mechanic, the siege engineer, the Martial Trance. the dwarf is defined by the culture and science which separates him from the goblins.

Sure, ‼SCIENCE‼ may be able to give us a portal traversing, rocket-propelled bathtub, but ‼PHILOSOPHY‼ can help us to understand many important things about said bathtub. Things like it's deep and esoteric symbolism, it's effect on the human way of life, and, most importantly, why the fuck it exists.
