About Me

Just another relatively hairless ape-like animal like the rest of you. Cut me, I bleed like you do. I'm anti-religion, anti-authority, and hate almost everything about our destructive and meglomaniacal culture. Even though I feel addicted to civilization, I would rather just disappear into the woods and live as harmlessly as the rest of the biological community. I despise all forms of hypocrisy and deception. I'm extremely passionate and sensitive, yet have a very morbid and blunt sense of humor. I embrace my duality, yet also acknowledge the vast grey area between any supposedly moral argument. Therefor, I'm not completely sold on the debate between good and evil, and realize that any positive action can have negative consequences (and vice versa). Other than that, I like to no-scope people in the face with my sniper rifle in Halo 3 on Xbox Live.
What Famous Leader Are You?

The ongoing agricultural revolution has been the biggest mistake in human history. Never forget that this:
Ultimately turns into this:
All complex adaptive systems, including ecosystems, are invariably bound together and made stable by the diversity of their numerous interconnected components. If our global civilization continues to systematically reduce the biodiversity of the world in favor of increased agricultural productivity, economic development, and human population growth, we will inevitably destabilize and collapse the entire ecosystemic infrastructure that keeps us alive. Even civilized humans, with all of our absurd notions of superiority and exceptionalism, will be forced to join the 150 species a day we are squeezing, hacking, shooting, mowing, poisoning, stomping, weeding, clearcutting, vacuuming, and ultimately devouring into the oblivion of extinction. It is my goal to educate myself and others, to raise awareness, and to change the way we view ourselves in relation to the rest of the world so that we might confront the problems that affect us all as biological citizens of the planet Earth.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Like-minded individuals, who not only feel an intense distrust towards the mind-enslavement institutions of our culture, but can also have fun and make jokes despite all of it's ridiculously contrived bullshit. I suppose the good news is that civilization will eventually collapse upon itself one way or the other - I just hope that some of us (both human and nonhuman) will be able to survive and walk away from it. Anyway, I'd like to meet people from all walks of life, as long as we share a basic emotional foundation and don't constantly feel the need to establish some sort of superiority over one-another. When it comes down to it, death makes equals of us all.
