Very involved with the Green Party, politics, and information generally, i have an interest in most sciences, arts and periods of history. I find Archaeology and Physics especially interesting as they involve, combine, and/or tie together, all disciplines of knowledge. An ardent anti-ismist i have little or no faith in expertise-ism, vanguardism, or any other ists or isms or divisions of labor or intellectual spheres. An anark, i nonetheless believe in exercising the vote, political parties, the word, spirit, and any other handle one may have on political power and representation to represent equality, egalitarianism, sibling-hood, one's own interests and goals, and those of the majority and our Mother the Earth. Seeking consensus and comprehension is the highest good in political and spiritual struggle. As a hardcore materialist in the strictest spiritual sense, i am often interpreted as an atheist or an agnostic but i have deep faith in Allness being an expanding envelope involving all being and evolving towards the best, and consider myself a Gnostic in the narrowest sense. While i have a deep distrust of the definition of progress by those who hold all the cards, i do have an abiding trust that the galaxies are involved in such a process trending towards enlightenment and goodness. Another spiritual lynch pin of my beingness is that evil is an awkward way to convey the idea of stupid; i believe brains have evolved trending towards being better at defining what is good for the organism and it's communities and that to do the opposite of what is good is more aptly termed stupid. I am particularly fond of representative landscape and fantasy art painting and sculpting, especially in the classic Chinese style, and writing and prognostication as revealed in the Dao De Jing, the I Jing, and an understanding of one's astrological charting. The preceding spiritual tradition that i feel the most affinity with is the North American Indian amalgamation, and the political tradition is consensus based anarchism. Hinduism, the words and works of Thomas Jefferson, Patric Henry, Buddha, Jesus, and Emerson also have a special place in my heart next to chiefs Joseph, Seattle, Crazy Horse and Geronimo, and Lao Tzu, who i hold to be the paragon of humanity. In my economic life i have shown particular ability at carnival ride operation, being a student, dish washing, architectural painting, batch and continuous processing, research, art, beer tending, and web mastering. I have yet to find a real affinity for any economic activity, but it's not over while i'm still sucking wind.
