TxDeluxe Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 32, male, computer science major, from Texas, who currently is an operational manager at a oil refining/processing plant. I must say I am happy to be here. It is strange that one of the classes I most despised in my studies now holds new meaning after seeing it implemented the way it is here. Free thought is incouraged and discussion is emboldened by it. I was so discouraged by the liberal standards of philosophy from my university years. It always seemed to lead to a nihilistic or Marxist end. I swore it off completely as just another mental weapon of oppression against the freedoms of an individual. After having watched Stefan for what now must be a year or more, I am happy to start understanding how the true an unbiased study of philosophy works. I must apologize preemptively here for my possible lack of understanding. As I said previously I am not as studied in the science as others. I may also not be as intelligent as others as well, and hope to not slow down the progress of learning this website represents. From just browsing forums here and watching/listening/reading Stefan's work I have already begun to understand more than an entire semester that higher education ever afforded me.

Frederik Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Congrats on stepping out of the matrix and discovering the beauty and wonder of rational philosophy! I can comfort you in the fact that philosophy is actually not part of science How did you come across FDR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxDeluxe Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 It was inevitable, in my opinion. I have normally kept a sweeping distance from anything political and intellectual. It wasn't until I had literally drank my fill of the globalisation movement that I started to branch out. I needed to learn more about it and where my beliefs landed me. I started following main stream at first, like Bill O'Brien and Tucker Carlson, but I found them lacking in actual debate skills. I moved to radio, but they were polarized caricatures that just rooted for their team. I despised their lack of ethics. Then I found better and more talented speakers on the internet. I religiously watched Ben Shapiro, Bill Whittle, Scott Ott, Andrew Klavan, and Steven Crowder. One day Bill Whittle posted a video of Stefan and I was intrigued. I was trying to absorb all that I could and looked him up and ended here. I have been listening to Stefan's podcasts for many months now. I decided to come to the website and actually be a donator to his show as I began to believe the only way I could make any difference was to make sure Stefan was able to continue his effort. Now I am here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnikaSkywalker Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Welcome! I also live in Texas and it took moving here to scrub my mind of garbage thinking. Previously living in California for a decade did a number on me, but now I'm looking into more conservative channels, despite the fact that I hold liberal views. Saw your list of names, recognize Crowder as I'm a member of the Mug Club. I'll look up the rest and sub to their various outlets. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
