ABOUT ME
I am a college student in New Mexico State University and I am studying for philosophy. I love different types of people, especially the ones that are trying to bring forth excellence into the world around them. I guess this is why I like the idea of Couchsurfing because you let yourself get impacted and influenced by other people and other cultures.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe that if I am able to bring forth physical excellence, intellectual excellence, and moral beauty into the world then, I am morally obligated to do so. This, i believe, many philosophers call moral attractiveness. I hope I can be morally attractive like this in the future, if, of course, it is attainable. -->This is the philosophy major in me, haha! :p
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite movie is Shutter Island: Totally had me guessing the whole time.
My favorite collection of works would have to be from Leibniz: Quite a wonderful philosopher.
I necessarily love most music. I love Jazz and Classical music above all else.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'll talk about this when we meet, ha! :P
Teach, Learn, Share
I don't know too much about anything at all but I may know about some of the philosophical principles that makes this Universe run as it does. I am a theist but, I can show some of the most popular ethical theories and refute from an intellectual atheist's point of view and defend from a theological perspective. I can show some preliminaries on the Free Will Argument and Mind/Body problem. To sum it up, here is a list:
Arguments from Morality:
10 Commandments
Golden Rule
Cultural Relativism
Ethical Egoism: Ayn Rand's Objective Theory
Existence for God:
Descartes' Argument
Leibniz Argument
St. Thomas Argument
^^I personally specialize in these arguments.
That about sums up some little things that I know. DON'T worry, I will not preach to you. If you like, I can show you the door to what philosophy is truly about, of course, in the perspective of a young philosopher.
I hope that when I can meet you we can both learn about each other :)
