About me

Gender	Male
Occupation	Consultant
Location	PDX, Tiny Blue Dot, United States
Introduction	I graduated in 2004 with a Bachelor's of Science in Evolutionary Psychology and Neuroscience. Science really is all encompassing. My thought is most aligned with and influenced by Michael Shermer, Sam Harris, Michael Spector and Peter Boghassian. Other influences are Bill Maher, Adam Carolla, Stephen Colbert, E.O. Wilson, the Huxley's, Michael Gazzaniga, Nick Bostrom, Anders Sandberg and Robin Hanson. Politically I would probably be labeled a liberal, however most people don't fit in nice boxes. I prefer free thinker without ideology who tries to follow reason and evidence. The best remedy for politics and complex problems is scientific knowledge, rational discussion and secular politics. I believe in our secular constitution and secular founders. The enlightenment values shaped America. My worldview is scientific: I reject both right-wing demands for a return to authoritarian religious morality and postmodern relativism.
