Religiously agnostic and critical of religious dogma and doctrine; dogma being destructive and dysfunctional traditionalist beliefs. doctrine being the spreading and reinforcement of those beliefs.

Intellectually inquisitive and a pursuer of constructive, positive as well as rational thought.

Sexually open-minded and a believer in that posessiveness and jealousy are the root of much evil. Espousing polyamorous views. Recommend the book Ethical slut.

Random Thought
As an entrepreneur and an economic subject, I believe that exchanges are not a zero-sum game. A successful exchange should produce added value for each party larger than the compensation being exchanged. Thus, negotiation is harmful in situations when the difference being negotiated is already dwarfed by the added value the party expects to extract.
