It's been a few years since I've posted on the freedomain boards but I'm back baby!
First off, I just want to say how thrilled I am that this community has done as well as it has. Go team freedom.
I hail from the good ol' days of philosophy on the Queens Ways in Volvo vision (back when I had donor status . I guess I'm back to being the proverbial guy on the couch until I have some shekels to throw in).
Where did I disappear to? Well in the time since I've been an active member I have had a brief career as a software developer then a bass player then a speculator. I was trying to figure out exactly what is that I should be doing. Finally, after years of toil and ramen I've managed to carve out my niche as entrepreneur in game development, putting free market philosophy to practice.
I can tell you that the concepts I learned here play no small part in my continuing quest for self determination. Now, despite the fact that my viewership and participation dropped of the map I assure you my dedication to the truth, in my day-to-day, did not. I can proudly say I have turned many people on to this broadcast who have also greatly benefited from it.
I can't tell you how many times this has happens when discussing world issues with a friend:
>discussing world issues with a friend
>friend sees there is a huge problem
>I mention a few factoids about history
>friends openness to rationality rising
>send friend link to freedomain channel
>20 mins later
>kaleidoscope mind explosion of propaganda revealed to friend
>I nod approvingly
So anyways. It's good to be back.
