About Me

I am almost solely concerned with living the best life possible, although I have not the power to implement it nearly to the degree that I desire. In trying to be the best person that I can be, I am concerned with what is right, which itself can be seen both as what is good and as what is true. My three main interests in philosophy are ethics, political philosophy, and epistemology. I think these three are the most important things to humanity and they should be studied above and beyond everything else. What else could possibly be as important?

0%St. Victor of Python:And it came to pass that Saint Victor was taken from this place to another place, where he was lain to rest himself amongst sheets of muslin and velvet. And there stroked was he by maidens of the Orient. For sixteen days and nights stroked they him, yea verily and caressed him. His hair, ruffled they. And their fingers rubbethed they in oil of olives, and ranneth them across all parts of his body for as much as to soothe him. And the soles of his feet licked they. And the upper parts of his thigh did they anoint with the balm of forbidden trees. And with the teeth of their mouths, nibbled they the pointed bits at the top of his ears. Yea verily, and did their tongues thereof make themselves acquainted with his most secret places. For fifteen days and nights did Victor withstand these maidens, until he cried out, saying: "This...is fantastic! Oh...this is *terrific!!*" And the Lord did here the cry of Victor. And verily came He down and slew the maidens. And caused their cottonwool bugs to blow away, and their Kleenex to be laid waste utterly. And Victor, in his anguish, cried out that the Lord was a rotten bastard. So the Lord sent an angel to comfort Victor for the weekend. And entered they together the jaccuzzi. Here endeth the lesson.

I'd like to meet:

I am looking for people who have a high degree of interest in philosophy or the humanities. Anybody who wants to chat, write, correspond, or is interested in possible collaboration about deep philosophical issues or problems within the humanities, especially those who are interested in ethics, political philosophy and epistemology. BUT, I am hoping to meet rather like-minded people as opposed to arguing points which are already old hat to me with people of different mind-sets. So let me be more specific. I prefer people who use reason to examine the world, and who understand that reason is not, nor could ever be, a faith. Therefore I also prefer fellow atheists, but allowances could be made for agnostics or others who have not made their mind up to be religious, or if you also happen to be Democratic or otherwise left-leaning, within reasonable moderation. And lastly I'd prefer to speak with humanists; that is, people whose ethical values are concerned with living well and with other people in good societies, so that means no misanthrops!
