I've never been a fan of popular belief. I hold the belief that a million people can indeed be wrong. There is evidence in history to validate this claim.
If I were to put a label on my particular mode of thinking in any way, I feel 'Relative Nihilist' would be among the most fitting. To get it down pat would take a great deal more qualifying adjectives - best to keep it simple.
As regards metaphysics, I am a bit of a nihilist. For better or worse, I see no purpose in this life - no divine hand or will or supernatural power shaping the course of our existence. It is what we choose to make it, or choose not to make it. I would like to think that this is for the better. I am the master of my reality, insomuch as I am able to control it. On a short tangent, I realize there really isn't much that I can control. Choosing to accept this is also my way of coming to terms with my reality.
As regards ethics, I am a relativist. Well, this doesn't apply to my own morality, only to my view of morality in general. What I deem right may not particularly be right by you. So know that when I say 'my own morality,' I mean exactly that.
As regards politics, I can't stand them, least of all the entire process as it exists today. I would prefer to avoid it completely, only that to do so seems very irresponsible. This is the system I have to live in, and barring a cataclysmic event or two this is the system I'll continue to live in. Suffice to say, I favor a system that doesn't inhibit a person's ability to decide for themselves. This also means not imposing my beliefs on others.
I don't mean to preach. I'm not looking to debate. I will not suggest any particular course in policy. I only realize that I have an opinion on almost everything, and I felt compelled to share it. Feel free to question my true motives, cuz I will do the same.
Enough rambling. With that, I feel I've set the right course for this little endeavor. Moving on...
