I don’t waste time arguing with people about the veracity of Noah’s Ark

[This week’s interviewee didn’t want their picture taken. Instead they asked to post a picture of “my hero, Epictetus” – the Greek slave-cum philosopher] What I believe depends on the time of day really. Everyone has doubts. But I’d say I’m a Muslim. That’s the moral system that’s most compatible with what I consider to beRead more about I don’t waste time arguing with people about the veracity of Noah’s Ark[…]

I’m from Northern, Northern New York. In the mountains, by a forest, by a lake. Wearing flannel, chopping wood, listening to grunge music in the 90s. I’m a stereotype.

Sommige mensen worden heel aardig geboren, sommigen worden minder aardig geboren. Die moeten het dan nog leren.

<for Dutch scroll down> I think life is pointless and we just have to make the best of it. I don’t believe there’s a god. It is too complicated a story that is scientifically completely unsound. I was raised protestant. Went to church. Did Catechism. But it’s like with Santa Claus for children.
