About Me

I've been seeking to learn all truth on all topics and apply it to all areas of my life, arguably since age 10. Unfortunately, I've found myself in a world hostile to such. Everything else in my life is my working to continue that quest despite the hostilities I encounter, and to find like-minded others.

I'm a Voluntaryist and an agorist.

I'm interested in conlangs, applying rationality to all areas of life, and hula hoop dancing. (hooping)

I eat a fully raw fruit and vegetable diet; it's left me with the highest energy and best mental clarity I've ever had. It's what catalyzed my interest in forest gardening, and indirectly why I found out about it in the first place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After college and some traveling, I moved back home to figure things in my life out, to sort out what I had learned about life. I learned a great deal about injustice in the world, and positively refused to do what I knew harmed others. I finally figured out what I could do as a career to raise the money I needed to start my own business, but before I could get a job, my mom had a stroke, my sister got power of attorney, and kicked me out of my own house. (my mom had left it to me).

There are little to no resources in my area for someone in my situation, particularly someone who refuses to do what he knows harms other people. (and who made the time to investigate such) I've never been homeless before, and just need a place to stay until I find a job. I have everything else I need (for the time being) except a place to stay, particularly a place to sleep away from the rain, and where I can have access to a toilet at night.

I'm looking for a career in sustainable agriculture; I prefer forest gardening, but am willing to settle for organic farming. I've been applying for jobs from the library these last few weeks. Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Interests

  • hooping
  • rationality
  • conlanging
  • alternate reality games

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: it depends on the song; otherwise, usually instrumental or a capella.

Movies: Firefly/Serenity, the Matrix films

Books: too many to note; for now, The 8th Habit

I usually listen to educational audio in my free time/while I'm doing various tasks rather than music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Created a positive alternative to the Technological Singularity. (which I'm provisionally calling the Spiritual Singularity)

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything; I'm an open book (I can talk forever on all subjects and am open to doing so) and a polymath, so learn/teach away!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Work, ideas, conversation; everything else depends on level of trust/comfort/time.
