About this user

I try to speak my mind and record some thoughts in my vids. They may be silly or inchoate but I want to use this channel to learn new stuff from others and to get some feedback on my views, which may not be like yours but if you are tolerant then they won't hurt you. When somebody uses offensive language I immediately block such people because I consider using ad hominem attacks as a means of character assassination instead of entering a debate.

I think of myself as a (free)thinking seeker of wisdom. Although I'm in two minds about my Catholic upbringing and a lukewarm Christian, I try to provide genuine arguments for fanatic militant atheists and/or fundamentalist rationalists aka new atheists. I guess that makes me an outspoken theist, however some narrow-minded believers also get my goat every now and then. I think creationism is wrong because it mixes science with religious worldview. Apart from that I enjoy thinking outside the box and intelligent discussions. I abhor name-calling but when push comes to shove I can be quite offensive.

I don't claim to have all the answers and I don't think that anyone has. That's why I speak up against any form of intellectual hubris. I am not in the business of being 'right' or 'wrong'. We all have something to bring to the table, to add to one anothers knowledge, understanding and insight. If you feel the need to attack me for being one thing or another you've probably missed the point of who I am. If you believe you are the only one to know or understand reality then please pass on by.

Recently I've been trying to comprehend the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and make videos concerning difference and repetition as a means of shedding light at his concepts.
