About me

If I try to define myself, it should be this: a born philosopher of 21st century that wants, but never admits, to be a sage.

When I say I am a philosopher, I do not mean the traditional kind of either old white man with long beard or an activist woman that complains to the society looking for an emancipation, but the kind of a curious man looking for the truth, the first principles, the world, the good life and, to sum up as a whole, everything. That is what I would mean to be a philosopher, a friend of wisdom.

About my expertise

I do not have expertise, I follow the proverb of “jack of all trades, master of none”, because I love to be a specialist focused on everything instead of one thing that is very limited.

About my skills

I have few skills. The only one I will mention is majeutic, the same one that Socrates used to give birth ideas of the others. I believe a philosopher should, not to teach someone, enlight the others, others that do not seek for the truth as the philosopher seeks, that want to comprehend their own ideas in a more coherent and logical way.

By the way, free of charge, since knowledge is, or at least it should be, common and free.

About my interests

I am interested on everything, I mean every single detail of a thing.

About my leisure

I spent my precious time on (I) learning both (1) what the ancient philosophers and sages taught (2) and from the environment I experienced, (II) seeking knowledge from sources like the Internet, (III) reading from what I have found, (IV) hearing music, especially classic and romantic, (V) playing videogames, especially gacha games, and (VI) appreciating the artistic works that focus on either mimetic beauty according to reality and mathematical order or modern anime style that focuses on chibi and beautifully cute characters, especially feminine. Previously, I watched movies and series, but I left that behind for a more later life.

I really love leisure that I want to extend it as a whole day for the rest of my life, so I would slack of for the sake of philosophy rather than working to get money. Furthermore, I believe philosophers should spend their leisure time on philosophy rather than gaining money.

About my happiness

The happiest thing for me is to learn why. Once learned enough, I am happy enough for the rest of my life.

About my personality

I would say my personality is a kind of an introvert that loves thinking abstract things and applying these to reality, and socially awkward figure who shows up out of nowhere.

I am very inclined towards solitude and calm situation rather than a noisy crowd.

About my friendship

I have one, but I do not have much interaction recently.

I am looking forward to friend someone that is wiser than me and that teaches me everything for the rest of my life or a nice cute little sweet girl who is beautifully intellectual. Also, I am very selective to which one I should friend, I have my own criterias to evaluate, especially I can deduce someone from their behaviour and their appearances, but it requires a lot of time.

I am very inclined towards female figures rather than male.

About my relationship

I do not have one, nor do I seek for it.

About my works

Currently, I achieved nothing; that’s right, I do nothing, and I do not have any work done.

About my goals

I do not care the goals, except one thing: learning.

About my pronouns

I do not care about the pronouns, use whatever you need to address me properly.
