Hey all,

I'm a 21 year old senior attending film school in Rochester NY. Socialist in high school, turned Libertarian in college, then migrated to Anarchist a couple months ago upon introduction to Stefan's videos and podcasts. I'm currently in a Philosophy of Law course as part of my liberal arts requirements, which coincided nicely with my transition of perspective, and I may have managed to find one of the few non-liberal professors at the school. It's a nice change after learning 19th Century and Modern Philosophy from a Marxist for a year. 

Anyway, I hope to contribute as positively to this forum as I can, and to test my principles as to achieve a stronger understanding of how they function relative to the world.

Hi there, just had to comment that I found it funny your use of the words "turned" and "migrated" with regards to changes in your core values.  Warmest welcomes, it's always nice to hear philosophy reaching people at a young age :)

The words, I feel, accurately describe how it felt to have those shifts in perspective. I feel like the same person, with similar motivations and core values the entire time, it just took a while to learn the correct philosophy that was actually consistent with those motivations and reality. Pretty much sums up how modern politics/postmodern metaphysics has distorted the definitions of equality, freedom, and tolerance to the point where you can actually convince the uneducated and naive that Statism is consistent with those principles.

 

Thanks everyone for the welcome!
