I value intelligence, imagination, and creativity.

Philosophically and morally, I am an Objectivist, and politically a Sovereign Individual. I live by Galt's Oath and I conduct personal relationships under the terms of the Covenant of Unanimous Consent*--which is essentially laissez faire* Live and Let Live--and the libertarian Non Aggression Principle which is: "No one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation".

*Covenant of Unanimous Consent is here:

*Laissez faire: the practice or doctrine of noninterference in the affairs of others, esp. with reference to individual conduct or freedom of action.

I was a business representative for the Objectivist Nathaniel Branden Institute for many years during the '60s and I am also the creator of Atlas Shrugged Celebration Day in Ouray, Colorado and Judge Narragansett’s New Constitution Project, both accessible from http://AtlasShruggedCelebrationDay.com

I also have a forum/blog at http://DennisLeeWilson.com

Well, that is enough of the summary formalities...on to what I'm doing..

Architecture was my first career and my continuing interest. I also live in Arizona, so AzDesigner was a nice fit for my OkCupid nickname. My second career was computer software and my third career was commodity speculator. I also had a side career, parallel to my first two, as real estate owner/landlord/re-modeler.

In the "Questions" area, there is an interesting one about "daydreaming". I DO daydream and my daydreaming is intentional, deliberate and "nurtured". It is a part of my creative process. EVERY advance in human knowledge, innovation, production, engineering, arts, crafts and living standards STARTED as somebody's daydream--including the computer you are using to view this!

I recently finished migrating my personal website to http://DennisLeeWilson.com I am working on a book about my architectural and classic music mentor: "Paul Yaeger: An Arizona Architect":

I am remodeling my own residence for the second time in 30 years (I've remodeled a dozen houses over the years). It looks fantastic in my mind but is quite a chaotic mess in the real world....never remodel while you live in a place. I broke my own "rule".

I've considered getting a summer place in Free State Wyoming and "snowbirding" between AZ and WY.

Polyamory (or simply poly), is about love AND sex. This does not mean that I am promiscuous. An aversion to a single committed relationship does not mean that one indiscriminately jumps in bed with anyone. "Polyamorous" describes people who are open to more than one relationship. Does a parent love one of her/his children and not the others? Sure, that is "different"--but there are elements that are very similar. I've written some on this subject. People cannot "own" other people and attempting to do so is the root of jealousy and conflict. I'm currently "poly-single" looking for an intelligent woman as friend who might become a primary relationship.

I've also written (a blog?) on current events and individual sovereignty. A Subject Index to those articles is at

This quote sums up my political views very nicely: "The quest for freedom [is] a highly introspective, personal journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. The eradication of government is not necessary for one to be free. To the contrary, one must first attain freedom in order to be rid of government."

I am an amateur photographer, scanning and building a "computer darkroom" for my extensive collection of film based photos while adding electronic photos from the most recent advances in cameras.

I like science fiction for its imagination qualities, real science for its tie to reality, chess & Rottweilers, although I am currently without a Rotty and have one cat instead.

I am a classical music enthusiast & collector of a Raymond Loewy designed 1953 Studebaker coupe & three "newer" Mercedes Benz SLC coupes (plus a few others).

I am a creative thinker and enjoy making my creations real. And I like to brainstorm, although I have found few others who do. Use the following link to visit brainstorming subjects:

I belong to Mensa & am a past editor of Vidya, the Journal of the Triple Nine Society.

I don't really know. Perhaps that I'm 6 foot tall? Or my blue eyes?....well, I'm male. What else would someone notice? My kilt? My big hands? (grin)

Books: Fiction & Sci-Fi authors whose books I've read and enjoyed: All of Ayn Rand, esp Atlas Shrugged, Fountainhead, (I was the Phoenix business rep for NBI during the 60s), Isaac Asimov, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, Harry Turtledove, S. M. Stirling, George Reisman--well he isn't fiction, but very interesting, as is Thomas DiLorenzo. I'm currently collecting and reading the entire works of Zane Grey and Louis L'amour.

Movies: Some movies that I've seen and enjoyed: FireFly & Serenity, Stargate, Star Wars and I really liked Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet and Much Ado About Nothing. Before I quit TV, I enjoyed "Breaking Bad" and the Sci-Fi series "Eureka" and "Warehouse 13". It was nice to see those 2 new shows that don't depend heavily on militarism and violence. I recently cut off my cable TV and started buying dvds of shows I want to watch. I recently finished an "oldie": "Tales of the Gold Monkey". I get to see the episodes I missed--when *I* want to view them.

Music: Mostly Classical: esp Aaron Copeland, Antonin Dvorak--his New World Symphony got me started on classical; Folk: John Denver, ABBA, early Kingston Trio, Loreena McKennitt.

Food: Yes.

Shows: I've seen a few. I'm not too keen on stage shows or concerts. DVDs are much better. I get to control when and how I want to watch them. DVDs also allow me to avoid the crowds.

Ok, ok. I'll start a list because I read a list that was better than just earth, wind, fire and water.

1. Imagination. (Einstein says it is more important than knowledge and I agree).
2. Knowledge. (At my age, I have definitely acquired some of this and could certainly never do without).
3. BACKUPS! Recent computer failures have been a bit traumatic.
4. Still workin' on this one--well, three is more than I had before!!

how I managed to get an OkCupid Kinkier Award?? (The one with the cute butt icon). Ah, well. It might be something fun to explore... Until then, how about some additional search words and variations...: atheist objectivism architectural design designer polyamorous. Although my "tests" show me to be an anarchist, I'm really an abolitionist or agorist and embrace abolition and agorism.

...wondering what to write about a Typical Friday Night..., Well. Tonight is Friday and here I am typing this in....

is still being thought about....and probably got revealed in comments to some of the "interesting" questions.

...something here interests you, we have some Basic Compatibility* and you would like to initiate an email dialog and/or meet over a cup of coffee or tea.

*Basic Compatibility: Please note that I am NOT attracted to religious people. If you are over 30 and still believe in fairy tales, supernatural things and/or ghosts, goblins, gods or things that go "bump" in the night, we are NOT compatible at a very basic level!

I could have put this as a "warning" at the top and saved you some reading, but religion is just not important enough to be first on ANYTHING of mine. It belongs where you now find it--last.
