CURRENT MISSION

To observe more is my mission: “Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.” - Marcus Aurelius

PHILOSOPHY

I am a vegetarian who avoids killing bugs.
A Utilitarian who holds moral truth to be ultimately relativistic or generally void of any actual truth value.
I live a fairly solitary life style.
I enjoy the minimalistic approach to home decor.
I strive to reduce suffering and stress and maximize pleasure and calm.

Atheist, Free Thinker, Skeptic...

There are quite a few concepts to piece together to get a picture of my mindset. Not too sure how I can relay my personal philosophy in an effective way, so I decided to just list a few concepts that fit into it...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm interested in surfing / meet-ups; my current living environment is not conducive to a hosting experience, but maybe when I settle down a bit I'll start hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Brand new to CouchSurfing, but I've heard really good things and am eager to give it a try.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of philosophy books, or books with philosophical themes, such as:
Sherlock Holmes (Doyle)
An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (Hume)
An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (Locke)
A Treatise of Human Nature (Hume)
Discourse on the Method (Descartes)
Dexter (Lindsay)

My all time favorite movie is Amelie - I watch a lot of foreign films I particularly like Japanese, Korean, and French cinematography.
