Name: David Dotson
Age: 25
Location: Louisville, KY
Interests: My interests lie in the incremental realization of my own ignorance. I swim in an intellectual soup, swallowing when I can.
Politics:
Err.. whats my word limit here? My more politically inclined friends call me alternately a Trotskyist or a Neo-Con. I have no idea how that can be possible, but there it is. I believe in many socialist principles (labor rights, permenant revolution, etc.) but I think my support of the Iraq war has caused my liberal comrades to cast me aside, and spurn me as a "Neo-Con", whatever the hell that means. Why they can't relate the oppression by the Bathist regime in Iraq to the religio-fascism of Mao, Nazi Germany, and Kim Jong-Il is quite beyond me.
The most important single issue in the modern world is the struggle between the secular democratic principles of the Renaissance and the theological totaliatarianism of the dark ages. The most obvious symptom of which is the current conflict between Islamic fascism and essentially everyone else.
Religion:
As the above section likely makes clear, I am an athiest, or more precisely an anti-theist. Religion is the passing down through the generations of a virulent mental pathology; a sort of poisonous meme of submission to authority, repression of sexual insticts, and xenophobia. Original sin DOES exist, and it is called religion.
Books:
The Man in The High Castle by Philip K. Dick; Love, Poverty, and War by Christopher Hitchins; A Canticle for Leibowitz by William Miller; 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell, In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust. (Let's save time, shall we? Go to the library and start at "A".)
Quote:
"Faith is the surrender of the mind, the surrender of reason, the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the virtues, or all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated."
