| About Me: | I am a poor (considered) unattractive white 28 year old male who does not drive and legally carries a gun from Ashland Kentucky. I'm a patented inventor, author, and certified locksmith. I've been a loner and outcast my whole life because I was treated as a human being by my parents and thus did not develop the collection of neuroses commonly called a "normal outlook" by the average American citizen. I have a gift for large scale systems analysis and pattern identification. I see lies everywhere, and I am ethically obligated to both point them out and to propose and develop solutions. I am often described as a person who sticks to his beliefs but I only do so in the absence of rational counterpoint. I've sought that counterpoint from the internet since I was 17. I quickly discovered that I could encounter a larger and more diverse number of people and thus ideas online than I ever could in person. I am here to further refine my world view, and to perhaps free other from fear |

| Beliefs: | Singularitarian, Polygamist/Polyamorist, Laissez-faire economist, fetishist, cynic, realist, optimist, materialist, theist/agnostic/pandeist/deist depending on your definition of God, subversive, philosopher, transhumanist, futurist, anarchist, individualist, Buddhist, Cryptarian, author, and general freedom junkie with a problem with authority of any sort derived from fear. Fear and pain should be mechanically eliminated from the species. I've written a book and I maintain a blog to showcase my beliefs. I believe it is our responsibility as thinking being to debate ideas and arrive at the best way of life. http://Underlore.com |
| Quotes: | "...we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes which were for the moment unpopular." Edward R. Murrow |
The need for "Identity Confirmation" with a phone number is aburd.
Debate is inextricably linked with journalism. Journalism ideally is the process of informing people so that they can make a legitimate decision. Debate is the discussion that hopefully precedes that decision. To levy such a heavy handed and draconian caveat to the freeness of speech such as any demand of absolute identification is a corruption of the entire ethic behind debate itself. This entire idea is disgustingly manipulative. Anonymity is a serious personal right, and the desire...
Debate.com is superfluous if not detrimental, in the face of modern blogging technology.
Modern blogs have every function to be found in debate.com. Modern Blogs have much greater flexibility with regard to formatting and character limit. Modern blogs allow for much greater voting flexibility allowing for a much clearer picture of consensus. Modern blogs reach a much larger audience. Debate.com has already shown itself to be capable of censorship thus negating any sort of third party non partial peer review type advantage. Modern blogs have multiple backup options....
There are some things that we can NEVER understand through empirical science.
Empirical science has enabled us to get a sharper and sharper understanding of things in the world. Things like galaxies, atoms, cells, behavior, ecology, sociology, economics, and so forth. As we continue to study the world empirically, our knowledge will continue to grow and details that seem to be fuzzy now will continue to become more and more in focus. When it comes to the behavior of objects in the external world, there is scarcely anything which is impossible to understand and explain to...
The typical American ‘date' is simply a social work around for prostitution being illegal.
-=Batch debate disclaimer v.01=- To my opponent: I am not attacking you, I don't know you, I am attacking your ideas. I am not trying to convince you of anything, therefore do not expect me to sugar coat anything for you with manners or any other euphemism for deception. I am writing for the record and for the future. If I say something unflattering about one of your ideas or your style of debate and you choose to be insulted that is your problem not mine. The very core of a debate could be...
"The successful solution to every problem we ever face will always be MORE freedom, not less."
Imagine the following... You have a patient who for the moment needed to be restrained. And in restraining the person you noticed that they are harming themselves less. But they continue to struggle and the wrists are becoming damaged, so you apply more strap to the upper arms, and this protects the wrists. You realize that this was only a temporary solution, and regret it being the only option you could think of and set about finding a real solution, wit your loyal but somewhat dim assis...
