The Universe favors autodidacts.

Read, watch, listen. Agree, disagree, think.

 

*Please note that my political views have evolved over time. Specifically, I have become anti-war and would not support regime change through military action as I did in the early 2000s. Rather than pretend I didn't make certain arguments years ago, I choose to leave them here in the spirit of transparency. I am dedicated to the pursuit of truth using reason and evidence, not wed to any particular ideology, and that means sometimes I change my mind about things.
