ABOUT ME

"If we asked your best friends about you, what kinds of things would they say?"

Well, at least he's honest.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be a very open-minded individual, though I love a good debate and can sometimes appear inflexible as a result of my rhetoric. Politically, I tend towards libertarianism, and my religion is an eclectic mix of the teachings of Jesus, humanism, philosophical Buddhism, and Taoism. My life view in general is highly affected by the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche.

Interests

My interests are varied, but include political activism, literary criticism, writing, general philosophy, strategy games, and history.
