Panoptic Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Hello all from Tucson, Arizona, One year ago I had a sort of "political awakening". I used to be the stereotypical Christian republican, that's how I was raised I guess. But I've always had something inside of me intact from my childhood to question the world around me. I used to be afraid even to question things internally, but deep down I did not understand how you could support something labeled "American interests"; it seemed so aggressive and immoral. Nevertheless I continued to supress my internal alarm system and enable my apathy, until one year ago. After a wild, year-long road of confusion, constant change of values, searching for the final truth, and constantly following different people who brought me the next new truth, I stumbled across Stefan carrying this thing around called philosophy, and I decided to think for myself. I have never felt the way I do now. Although I have a long way to go I have never this free in my life. I hope I can help to spread this freedom to the rest of humanity. My goal in life is to help advance humanity to the best of my ability. I can't wait to begin my journey.
