Hello from the Little Apple

[davis4217]

Hi Freedomain, 

 

My name is Kris, I'm a 28 year old machine operator, with a love of history and philosophy. I believe, strongly, in the non-initiation principle and find the concept of Universally Preferred Behavior fascinating. As an anarcho-atheist, there are few forums where I feel like honest, constructive conversations take place, on the issues I find important. Having read a number of posts and responses, I look forward to pleasant, informed communication.

 

 

Pleased to meet you, we'll chat soon

Hey, thanks!!

 

I discovered the show about 2 years ago through a former roommate, he always listened to podcasts at home. I overheard a few that interested me, asked what the podcast was and I've been listening ever since. I think most of the topics are interesting and the logic is refreshing.

 

The Little Apple refers to Manhattan, Kansas USA

A friend asked me in high school why I didn't believe in God. I told him that I stopped believing in fairy tales when I was young, to which he replied "interesting philosophy." I didn't know what he meant, so I started researching philosophical ideas, but nothing seemed to make sense to me and I gave it up. Years later, I heard an argument linking atheism to anarchy, all of which clicked with what I had read as a young student and inspired me to take up the task of truly learning moral rationality. 

 

 

 

Thanks for the questions
