I am an honor-bound utilitarian progressionist, philosophical moralist, existential, mereological, epistemological, political, and moral nihilist, metaphysical positive reductionist, epistemological pragmatic absolutist, subjective ethical relativist, objective realist, agnostic atheist anti-theist gEntleman. Meyer's Brigg's classifies me as an ESTJ (Extroverted, Sensory, Thinking, Judging), which as far as I can tell is pretty accurate.

I like everything from hiking, kayaking, and swordplay, to watching movies, card games, and video games. I enjoy just kicking back and reveling in the simple things in life, from the sophistication of a glass of wine and Deuter to set the mood for a deep and enlightening philosophical conversation of existential heuristics, to some smoke and a game or two of League of Legends. I take pleasure in meeting new people and experiencing the world, especially when it leads to expansion of my horizons.

I am someone with fairly high self-confidence, and feel quite comfortable interacting with other people. I'm quite assertive and I find the company of others very stimulating, thus I enjoy meeting new people. I am quite open-minded, and have a strong appreciation for beauty, both in art and nature. I am easily absorbed in music and imagination, as well as natural phenomena, from the vast and alluring universe in which we reside, to the intricate casts of an ant colony. I have a tendency to think often about abstract concepts and ideas, a thinking style that may take the form of artistic syntax and metaphorical use of language, to graceful yet devastating swordsmanship. Thus, in my spare time, I particularly enjoy activities that get my mind to think or analyze critically. These tendencies to be open can, however, be something of a double edged sword, as I am occasionally very roundabout or entirely nonsensical to others if I have trouble communicating my thoughts; I can seem to reside in a completely different universe from time to time. Last named of my qualities is my stance of gentle repose. I tend to take things as they come and deal with life on a situational basis. I don't stress out, and I don't allow myself to dwell or regret my past undertakings; instead, I put my efforts into learning from my mistakes and making my next move.

I'm a person who admits my own faults, and take full responsibility for my actions. I require myself to at all times be progressing forward, and avoid ignorance, whether through intention or negligence; I never pass up a chance to learn something relevant. I constantly spend time thinking, reevaluating, and refining my own standards and moral values, as well as those of other people, as I seek to always improve myself. I attribute these qualities to mindfulness in conjunction with true and honest introspection. Through this process, I have, over time, defined and refined that which holds value in my perception, and continue to do so.

I try to give every person I meet a fair and relatively equal chance of becoming a 'regular' so to speak, ranging from talk once in a while acquaintances to the closest friends; unfortunately for the majority of people, I am "picky as all fuck" (as I am majoritively misanthropic). The criteria and scale by which I place people are expansive, from healthiness, attractiveness, dexterity, and genetics to intelligence, sense of humor, experience, critical thinking, analysis, mindfulness, charisma and willpower. I am a person of rigidity, holding fast to my morality and desire for truth [being objective fact]. I do not surround myself with people of theistic or pseudo-scientific beliefs, as they fundamentally demonstrate an apparent lack of ability to logically reason between fact and fiction. I will, to be bluntly honest, tear every catechism of your beliefs asunder, to separate what in your beliefs (if anything) is objectively true from that which is your subjective projected desire of the universe at large over the course of our communications, in order to ascertain the nature of your being - something I do passively at times and aggressively at others, but always with myself before anyone else, though everyone else inclusive. Judgmental? Not in the common perspective, only in the literal sense - I judge based upon the objective information I have obtained, and constantly refine my judgement as new evidence is presented [which is nigh-constant].

I know the limits of my faculties, what are my definitive morals, my unwavering values, and my immersing philosophies. I know who I am.

Who are you?

Weekends are generally spent at friends places playing video games, watching movies, or discussing philosophy, reality, or science. I play Dungeons and Dragons on Sundays, so those are full.

Working at a circuit board shop, I do Computer Assisted Machining for printed circuit photo tools.

Relaxing - Kick back and enjoy a view, music, and smoke.
Video games - I play way too many...
Reading and Writing - Love a good book, and little I enjoy more than writing stories for my game group.
Physical Activity - Swordsmanship at the top of that list.
Philosophical Discussion - Through the verse and beyond.
Being unintentionally mercilessly blunt, but always honest.
Pontification - Not on purpose though, I may accidentally tangent into a detailed explanation of some related process to the initial point of subject matter to better present some semblance of a coherent statement for you to decypher...

The most often mentioned physical characteristics are either my eyes (I hold strong eye contact) or the way I carry myself (my movements are very fast and fluid while still precise; graceful, if you will).

The most mentioned mental attributes are my detachment (I do not fraternize with my emotions often), my uncanny knack of finding flaws (in just about everything, unfortunately), my straightforwardness (if you haven't already noticed), or my absolute distaste for bullshit (including, but not limited to: ignorance, stupidity, uselessness, malice, and the inability to detach oneself from their emotions in order to have a civilized and intellectual conversation or debate.) My compassion, though vast, is seen instantly only by those who understand my perspective; otherwise it is often overlooked and taken for blood lust (an excessively strange shift if you ask me, but the complexities of sociopolitical interaction are nigh-impossible to grasp).

The less educated are often enthralled by my eclectic command of the English language, the vigor in which it is spoken, and the speed in which it is availed.

I get called arrogant occasionally, but I find that perceived arrogance is often attributed to those who are intelligent by those who are not; those who are incapable of handling that fact maturely. I have no need to exaggerate my abilities, I know what I am capable of doing and not doing; it is impolite etiquette to make the assumption that I do not, and generally, the claim is projective in nature. Ah irony, eh?

Books: Catcher in the Rye, Brave New World, 1984, The Miracle of Mindfulness, Atlas Shrugged, and Chaos Theory. I dabble in old philosopher writings or recent science articles when I find myself in need of content, which is nigh-daily.

Movies: Pretty much anything...

Shows: This list is huge...But it mostly boils down to a couple prime time shows and a shitload of anime.

Music: Various genres of Metal, Hardstyle, Trance, Classical, 80s, and Buddhist Temple music.

And Food: Meat. Bread. Sugar. Souls of the deflowered.

Friends (Reality Anchors, gotta have them)
Philosophy ("Know the self")
My Car (Gotta get to work...)
My Laptop (all the internetz)
My Phone (alarm clock)
Empathic Sex (Let your mind do the walking, let my body do the talking.)

My life, and what I'm doing with it, and what I plan to do with it. Such as: How or what I want to change about myself, and how to go about it. How I value things, from spending time with my friends, to being alive, to the acquisition of new knowledge, to the application of that knowledge. Or simply what I want to do that day. Or even within that hour...What was the question again?

I'm probably hanging with some buddies, either out, in, or both.

The world is ripe for conquer.

I'm actually a very passionate person; I feel emotions deeply, but I do not, and can not, let it affect my judgment, nor do I share the complexities or specifics of my feelings around people I don't trust.

Because you want to :)

Don't bother me if you didn't take the time to read my profile; its just bad form and etiquette.

+-Bonus Points-+
You are a Redditor.
You want to chill and smoke.
You're a proud Pegasister.
You like similar music; I have few to enjoy my particular tastes with.
I don't have to explain nihilism to you, and you have a solid grasp of the subject; not knowing doesn't lose points.

+-Ways to Lose Points-+
If you're a theist, please don't message me. It's not judgment, its just a personal preference; I don't play well with people who do not take full advantage of their mental faculties. Save us both the time.
If you think it is safe to allow people to be religious.
You like or partake in any pseudoscience.
You want kids. Ever. It shows you have no respect for others, or for life.
You marked 'Atheism' or 'Agnostic' in the above My Details section; a testament to your ignorance.

Please don't message me to tell me your opinions of my above stated positions, I couldn't care less. Propagate intellectual communication, not senseless chatter. I'd be more than happy to actually discuss my philosophy, if you can do so as an intellectually honest and open adult.

Stupid Shit People Say To Me

Because people don't read, or just don't think that being proper applies to them for whatever reason, I've decided to start this section. The following are quotes from messages I have received over my time here that I just find too entertaining to pass up the opportunity to display the ignorant bullshit I have to put up with on an all too regular basis:

"I am atheist but I am anti-anti-theist. Give the poor bastards a break; if they don't try to convert you don't bother trying to convert them, because odds are it won't work. You will simply end up reinforcing the idea that atheists are jerks. Some people are not strong enough to handle the thought that there is no higher power watching over them. Let them have their delusions."
1) I don't say anything about 'deconverting' [you are not born religious] anywhere above.
2) "Let them have their delusions." This is why we have mental hospitals! Seriously?!

"I think you need to relax a bit. There are asshole theists and asshole atheists, and there are ignorant theists as well as dumb-as-shit atheists."
1) So, you mean to say: people can be assholes and or ignorant? What a discovery! I'll see if I can have you nominated for a Stein Rokkan.
