I totally understand how you feel about your father, and so I hope you'll place the post with his work with precedence. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401164853017483440.post-42129558572018554482014-01-29T19:03:05.291-05:002014-01-29T19:03:05.291-05:00You're lucky to have caught me just now, since...You're lucky to have caught me just now, since I'm usually really busy!<br /><br />Thank you for your support of my blog. I encourage you to continue commenting and start/participate in any future discussions. I welcome dissenting opinions, so long as they're appropriate (you'll find I stick by the doctrine "freedom of speech to the extent of public order). Let me answer your questions as thoroughly as I can!<br /><br />Question 1: I focus heavily on the works of my father for a few reasons. When you write something down on paper, or type it on a computer, you begin to understand it more, because it takes a certain amount of recreation in your mind to understand what you're typing, so you know that what you're putting down makes sense. I didn't know my father as well as I would've liked to -- he was around for my childhood and early teenage years. Now that I know what I do, I want to understand him more, because I see him as being a very intelligent man. By posting his works here, as well, I can share with the world what wisdom he had to offer.<br /><br />Question 2: This is an amazing question, and it will take a long time to fully explain. If you don't mind, can I save it for a future post?<br /><br />Question 3: I used to identify myself as a libertarian, specifically a minarchist. I don't affiliate myself with it now because I refuse to affiliate myself with any political party, faction, group, etc. I'd also like to include my reasoning, for that, in the future post.<br /><br />Question 4: I dual major: fine arts with a concentration in graphic design, and psychology with a concentration in developmental psychology (although I enjoy studying cognitive as well).<br /><br />Question 5: Primary scholarly interest? That varies greatly. I love studying philosophy and logic, anthropology, political sciences, music, and much more. When there's so much information in the world, it's hard to just pick one.<br /><br />Question 6: Lewontin's Fallacy... strangely specific. I'd like to save this for another post, as well.Alexis Delanoirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507261330011665079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401164853017483440.post-58059550790384862862014-01-29T18:06:59.771-05:002014-01-29T18:06:59.771-05:00I love these thorough posts on specific topics. I ...I love these thorough posts on specific topics. I do have a few things to ask, though.<br /><br />First, let me say that I absolutely love this blog. I can easily follow what you're saying without having much prior knowledge in anything (except statistics), and it seems that aside from your individual values, you're less biased than the average human being who likes to argue. I first read your blog from your abstract post "Why Original Thoughts Don't Exist," and then I got absolutely hooked after your page on "LaughingMan0X vs Sam Owl".<br /><br />But aside from all of that, I have a few questions, if you don't mind answering:<br /><br />#1 - Why do you focus so heavily on the works of your father?<br />#2 - Why do your topics seem to address very specific issues as opposed to large groups of issues. For example, a refutation of a single race realist instead of refuting all of race realism?<br />#3 - What political party did you used to affiliate yourself with, and why do you not affiliate with it now?<br />#4 - You say you go to Uni. What is your major(s)?<br />#5 - Aside from your major(s), what do you consider your primary scholarly interest?<br />#6 - Stemming from your apparent interest (at least somewhat) in genetics, evolution and anthropology, what do you make of "Lewontin's Fallacy"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
