I am awesome and glorious.
Honestly, I am just some dude in the US who has an internet connection and too much time on his hands. I like to pretend to be intellectual, but I am probably more of a fraud than that, but fortunately less of a fraud than many other people. I am a contrarian who finds that identifying with a group or standard belief is something I distrust, and so I probably disagree more than I ought, even though I'd be prone to disagree anyway. I have scrapped most of my beliefs more than once and I carry the cynicism(including some self-cynicism) entailed by my (sometimes extreme and/or brutal) reinventions. I am a person of such moral coldness that I think many get disgusted and chilled by my perspective, and I can and do argue for things that many people are emotionally revolted by, I still engage in moral behavior, but it is cold and more calculated.(I think the difference is often driven by emotional reactions, I am upset more by bad systematics, and others have visceral reactions to kicked puppies.) I think my intellectual motivations are probably a question of status, with my (hopeful) saving grace being that I perceive myself as gaining status by showing intellectual flexibility, an ability to think penetratingly about an issue, a tendency to see past simplistic systems and to work to develop bigger ones, and independence from established positions. I am more flawed than I will ever truly appreciate, and my every position contains the disgusting moral faults of the originator. Honestly, I am not so much enraptured by my personal glory than I am disgusted by myself and much much more disgusted by the world I am surrounded by, making me relatively superior in my own eyes. I still enjoy life, I just tend to have a dark, and negative vibe, and that characterizes a lot of this kind of response especially since being critical is important, especially to oneself and one's personal delusions.
Or... something. I like pumpkin pie.

I really like what you put. Very thoughtful.
