Introduction

Joined to talk freely about philosophy, without having to refrain from being critical of common ideologies.

What are your favorite things to do in the corridor?

Flyball with dogs, trying new restaurants with others, stumbling across one of the many local public concerts or jazz groups.

Atheist, agnostic, all of the above, none of the above?

I probably shouldn't mention that I'm an atheist, as that always seems to get a bad reaction from my coworkers. Yeah, no way I'm telling.

Additional Information

"Raised in an apatheist family. Idly investigated weird words like "Christian" or "Bible" up through high school. In college, spent time with friends in Bible study and religion-based events as an outside observer. Those seemed social, not reasonable."

    Concentrated ignorance

    "I don't want my statement about xenophobia to cause offense. What I mean is that advocates of English-only often take xenophobic stances, often without realizing that what they're proposing is effectively racially discriminatory...."

    Are you an "outie" or an "innie"?

    "I think both these statements are succinct and insightful. I'm In-N-Out, too."

    Why do so many terrorists have engineering degrees?

    "I'm going to agree with Dave and disagree with kmortis, here. That is, I'd say engineers are not scientists just because of the "S" in the BS or MS degree they hold...."

    Why do so many terrorists have engineering degrees?

    "I think Kelli's point is a good one. And purely anecdotally, I and a few friends I've polled have noticed that there are quite a few engineer creationists...."

    Concentrated ignorance

    "There's another type of anarchy? :D I get the impression we discussed this, once. I may have noted that Michael Shermer, whose approach I mostly agree with, is another 'soft' libertarian."
