CURRENT MISSION

To live off the grid, sustainably.

ABOUT ME

I'm a tramp: a dharma bum. I'd like to go around like Jesus (sandals, flowing robe and beard), but, everyone assumes you're a nutter, and, more importantly being different attracts far too much attention.

PHILOSOPHY

Metaphysics of Quality.
'What the Metaphysics of Quality would do is take this separate category, Quality, and show how it contains within itself both subjects and objects. The Metaphysics of Quality would show how things become enormously more coherent, fabulously more coherent, when you start with an assumption that Quality is the primary empirical reality of the world.... ... but showing that, of course, was a very big job.'
'Degeneracy can be fun but it's hard to keep up as a serious lifetime occupation.'
-Pirsig.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder; it is inherent in all life, if we don't filter it out with our brains. Therefore when I am beautiful, I feel imbued in beauty; when I'm 'objective' (or, other types of ugly), I see things and the different relationships between these things and use them for my benefit.

Teach, Learn, Share

To those who are interested, I love to talk about thinking and human nature; to those that aren't, I'm interested in anything they're enthusiastic about (enthusiasm, originally meant 'to be posessed by God').
Empathising with someone's enthusiasm is a 'human trip'.
