i'm here to discuss stuff.
my main interests are moral philosophy and politics (in terms of philosophy that is).
generally, i don't subscribe to a moral system, as most in my generation don't. that said, i do try to adhere to a sense of civility/humanity.
i may sound contradictory, but i note that many of us humans say things we don't mean, and say things that directly oppose prior statements. if i'm berated for that, when frankly seven other billion people do also, i should also be scolded for bipedal locomotion, complex language, abstract thought, and general sapience. oh, and wearing clothes, cooking food, and other basic human traits. picking and choosing whose contradiction is good or bad is merely one person's subjective appraisal. it's like saying "Hitler killed millions, and so did Stalin, but Stalin's is worse because merely I think so!!!!!"
