User:Stan van Tuinen

Stan van Tuinen's concern is Man's increasing self-destructiveness due to his/her strengthening of the Self through digital activities at the expense of everyday physical reality. To counter this, identity reliant on nationality, family, personal history and narrative acquisition etc. should be seen for the illusions they are which once seen will dissolve and enable the being to connect with the rest of nature and live a fuller integrated life. Therefore, we are not separate but part of Nature.

Anonymity can be controversial, but is a device that has been employed for thousands of years for benign and nefarious reasons. In a world of increasing intrusions on privacy, scamming, curtailments on liberty and self-promotion, anonymity allows for a freedom of expression beyond promises made about freedom by society. Stan van Tuinen uses anonymity for exclusively benign reasons and opposes the use of anonymity for the incitement of hatred and violence.
