All About You |
I'm a free-spirit hippy type in many ways. I don't identify with any political party. My political beliefs/values: I feel like the point of being an American is personal freedom and so I'm against people telling me how I ought to live when I don't harm anyone. I guess that means I'm socially liberal.
As far as economics goes, well, gee. I'm no expert, but I do know that social good creates individual good --sometimes. And sometimes the invisible hand knows what it's doing, but sometimes you run into those conditions Adam Smith mentioned where the invisible hand don't work so well. I'm really not sure where the balance ought to be when it comes to how to run the economics of this country or others, but I don't like when people think it's too simple or blanket blame particular populations.
My philosophy: I'm an optimistic nihilist who's pretty happy there are no gods or masters. I'm into sustainable hedonism because that seems the most sensible and responsible option. I'm big on responsibility and weak on being ruled by rules. Rules can be good mind you. They simplify things so you don't have to calculate outcomes (and maybe mess up!) for things you feel like doing. But it's nice to be able to consider and sometimes subvert customs that don't serve one. |

Tell us about being single or married: |
I'm poly, but don't have too many sweeties at any one time. Right now I'm primariless, and thinking about a the relationship paradigm with more independence/less demanding, but who knows where that's going. ;P I kinda like the slut mentality, but in practice I'm less promiscuous than people expect. |
