Hello hello from Romania

[moralhazzard]

Hi,

 

I'm Adrian from Cluj, Romania and I'm a software developer.

 

I think I stumbled over FDR videos while immersing myself in the libertarian ideology a few months ago.

 

I'm looking to take a break from the forever presence of statist ideology that literally infects my country and look for answers and alternatives to violence, which is immensely popular and normalized by my peers (especially in child-raising).

Stephan brings up a fascinating aspect to philosophy, forever changing my previous interpretation of it as a boring, non-practical domain (interpretation inherited from my government schooling period - go figure).

 

I must say I'm a highly skeptical person when it comes to any kind of argument and I think this is what made me to subscribe.

 

While looking up information about Stephan I did encounter some strong (and sometimes valid) criticism about his arguments (for ex: his view of physicists as "lazy & pasty bastards" or some of the RTR concepts) and I'm excited to know what the community's rebuttal is towards some of them.

 

I recognize the intelligence of this community and looking to learn from people smarter than me and, whilst I realize I will not be the most proactive person that joins the forum, I do want to join in conversations and learn as much as I can.

 

Thanks and will be seeing you out there!

I'm new here too, and I notice that Stefan salts his content heavily with his opinions. He reveals the age old rift between the humanities and the sciences, and may be a too close to his subject to realise his prejudices. The philosopher looks down upon the scientist and his cold mathematics, and the scientist look down upon the philosopher and his tower of arguments. 

 

Makes good linkbait.
