I'm said to be an excellent writer but i don't enjoy doing it too often, so i don't know how often i will be updating this blog.So enough about that; what is my agenda? First let me give a hopefully interesting autobio to help show why I will say what I'm gonna say.
I'm an 18 year-old 4th-year highschooler who for years has had a love for philosophy. I am a devout Roman Catholic and love to discuss and ponder over the beliefs of Catholicism and the debates surrounding it. Often times on Facebook i would spend time "Troll Patrolling," basically fending off internet trolls who were invading pages that were in accord with my views, from religious to political.
Speaking of political, you probably won't go far without hearing my political viewpoints along with those of my religion. So I'll simply spill it all out here in advance:
I was a determined conservative republican for a while as my family raised me to be. However, I have mostly moved further to the right to become what is known as a "Classical Liberal", a close cousin to libertarianism. Though my belief is not for the ultimate purpose that people leave me alone so i can do what i want in my own personal space; i believe this philosophy because i see it to be the best means for a healthy, successful society.
Most importantly of my political views is my pro-life view. the view that human personhood begins at conception. You will certainly be hearing about this topic from me.
that's me basically, as for what my agenda is:
I love logic. I hate dealing with arguments that are based off of guilt or emotional appeal. Peoples' emotions vary like the stock market, while logic is as fixed as gravity. So you should hear me expressing my discontent for the human race in it's failure to use solid logic.
I love truth. One of the definitions of philosophy is "The love of truth", which matches my description perfectly.
Lastly... I'm into what matters most:
I love truth and logic because they help me deal with the issues that matter most. I feel that most people care about unproductive, overly-cultural things, while I care about the fundamental issues.
Very nice.
