srs. most of the time these survey shits have some bullshit as the final question that reveals it as a marketing data-mining operation. "Do you prefer physical books or e-readers" is the classic tell.

that shit is annoying, but at least it's people trying to make money. This survey seems like some fag just talking for no reason.

1. No

2. No.

3. University dropout from a STEM field.

4. Paradife Loft. Fancied reading something with great scope and religious themes. It's pretty good.

5. I believe that if a greater being does not exist and did not create the universe, and the universe created itself out of *theoretical physics*, then the universe itself is a great creator and all energy and matter in the universe is therefore God.

5. The self either exists or we are all a product of some rather cosmically scaled programming which doth illicit feelings and behaviours which mimic that of what we consider self.

7. In recent memory, the Northumberland countryside during sunrise.

8. Cannot pin down a saddest moment, there have been a lot of sad and disappointing times, nothing so huge that it really sticks.

9. Yes and yes, in moderation and when I feel like it.

10. No, but I would like to if I had more of an opportunity to.

I don't understand this archaic thing or believing that God created the universe and that's all
I mean, I don't think that's the point. Jesus talked about love, about the relations between us and with what we could call god, that becomes not a simple creator but a emotional figure

I do vocals, can't read music, not that important when you're a singer.

>Do you drive? If so, what do you drive?

2013 Jeep Wrangler

>What's your level of education? What do you study?

Highschool, going to school for biology major soon

>What are you reading? Why? Good?

American Psycho, I wanted to see how the main character worked, and why he has such a large influence for guys my age.

>Your view on God.

I believe he exists and that a lot of Christians give lip service

>Your view on the human self, its existence/ non-existence and importance to life without reducing your answer to a discussion of its evolutionary importance.

It's all about making life enjoyable for everyone. You come into a developed world, ypu suck out it's resources, you should give back. You live confidently and happily so you can be a role model to others, taking for yourself what you want, and giving back, having calm understanding and an appreciation for others as being the same being you are, just in different circumstances.

>Your favorite landscape that you've actually laid your own eyes on.

A lake with sand beaches, with high cliffs and million dollar houses perched upon them.

>Saddest moment of your life in one sentence.

I honestly don't know. I don't think I've had it yet.

>Drink/ smoke?

Sometimes I roll up in the evenings for a nice experience

>Hunt/ fish?

Nope, I think hunting recreationally causes more pain than it brings pleasure in the grand scheme of things. Survival is a completely different subject.

I played trumpet and clarinet and am a master of Hot Cross Buns.

Yes. Toyota Corolla.

>3. What's your level of education? What do you study?

Some college. Not sure what I want to really study last semester I got in some English, Psychology, and some math. This semester I'm taking mostly science and business.
>4. What are you reading? Why? Good?

Reading some online Theodore Roosevelt biographies to fill any gaps my previous Roosevelt book on his conservation efforts might have missed. Why? He was an interesting and principled individual. Good? The conservationist biography was pretty good at covering his politics actually. Re-reading portions of his life with more or less nuance.

>5. Your view on God.

Probably doesn't exist. A useful concept to the right people.

>6. Your view on the human self, its existence/ non-existence and importance to life without reducing your answer to a discussion of its evolutionary importance.

I'm going to respond as if the question was the meaning of life. The purpose is ultimately to propagate. Meaning beyond that is a question for the individual. For me, it's carving out a space of comfort and control in this world and spending to either enjoying or improving it.

>7. Your favorite landscape that you've actually laid your own eyes on.

Ghanaian Rain forest. Don't recall the name.

>8. Saddest moment of your life in one sentence.

Got turned down by the only girl I've ever had feelings for and haven't felt the same since.

>1. Do you play an instrument? If so, what do you play and can you read music?
I can drum. Actually, I can't read proper sheet music b/c I have dyscalculia and that shit is near impossible. It really did a number on me during HS b/c all my friends were musical and I just sat there, bopping along and/or reading.

>2. Do you drive? If so, what do you drive?
Nope. Dyscalculia also makes me a danger behind the wheel due to a lack of spacial awareness.

>3. What's your level of education? What do you study?
BA Honours in Religion, Culture & Society. Almost entirely useless w/o a Masters but can't decide what to do it in.

>4. What are you reading? Why? Good?
War of the Worlds & The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Got WotW for my bday and I'm reading Jekyll & Hyde with my S/O. I'm enjoying the latter but haven't gotten into the former yet.

>5. Your view on God.

HaShem has left us now. Once, maybe, there was a force that aided us. Maybe He is still in his day of rest.

>6. Your view on the human self, its existence/ non-existence and importance to life without reducing your answer to a discussion of its evolutionary importance.
I don't have the energy for this, I'm sorry. All it does is depress me.

>7. Your favorite landscape that you've actually laid your own eyes on.
I love the skyline of my city when riding the bus in. As each layer unfolds, each skyscraper getting larger, while the bus gets fuller, I gain a great sense of belonging. Those great glass structures jutting up into the air, giving God the finger while expanding upwards, each person trying to find a place. England is getting full now, but by no means does that mean it is becoming less.

>8. Saddest moment of your life in one sentence.

>9. Drink/ smoke?

1. Do you play an instrument? If so, what do you play and can you read music?

I played trumpet all through public school. Got to first chair in jazz and concert band. Guess what: Band girls are freaky af and you non-musical nerds missed out.

2. Do you drive? If so, what do you drive?

No. Gave up the car after college to save money since I'm doing labor close to where I live.

3. What's your level of education? What do you study?

Two years into an English degree, I quit. Currently studying how to become a decent writer since I had the recent revelation that I suck shit.

4. What are you reading? Why? Good?

Atlas Shrugged atm. I lost a copy way back when I tried reading it and picked up a paperback so I could finish it.

5. Your view on God.

God is infinite, beyond human reason or concept. God is indifferent to the needs of humans in the same way humans are indifferent to ants. I almost see him more as the Old Testament jew god than anything, even though I grew up Catholic.

6. Your view on the human self, its existence/ non-existence and importance to life without reducing your answer to a discussion of its evolutionary importance.

In some undefined length of time, the universe will be subjected to its heat death; all matter, all energy dissipated through the cold vacuum. There will be nothing. Humanity will have ceased to exist long before that, regardless of how far it evolves or how brilliant its science is. Humanity will die, like all things do. This makes your life special. You are one of a finite group that has come/will come into existence, and you have the power to influence the track that we're on. If a man retreats from life, he is a coward that wastes the finite presuming he exists in the infinite.

7. Your favorite landscape that you've actually laid your own eyes on.

The Grand Canyon under snow. An inconceivable depth and a bitter dryness that tore my nostrils open and dotted the ice with the red of anemia.

8. Saddest moment of your life in one sentence.

When I realized I will never, ever have her back.

9. Drink/ smoke?

Of course.

10. Hunt/ fish?

Love fishing, want to hunt.

1. Yes, guitar. I've played for ten years but only recently got to a point of average skill. I can't read sheet music. >muh tabs

2. No, in the application process to get my provisional driving license as we speak, though.

3. A Level (UK). I went crazy after been given an unconditional offer to study literature in wales and just stopped bothering with my A levels all together. Dropped out in February. I've been tinkering with writing while working at a bookshop part time.

4. Currently reading Atlas Shrugged. The amount of hatred Rand gets both on here and just day to-day inspired me to give Anthem a chance, considering it was only like 120 pages. I liked it a lot, and, although i've always leaned left politically, I began to sympathise with her moral code, to the point where I memorised the quote: "I know not if this earth on which I stand is the core of the universe or if it is but a speck of dust lost in eternity. I know not and I care not. For I know what happiness is possible to me on earth. And my happiness needs no higher aim to vindicate it. My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose."
I'm only 30-40 pages into Atlas Shrugged, but It seems promising so far. She writes very similar to K. Dick- i'd have to do at least 30 seconds of googling to figure out if she was before or after him, though.

5. God has never really concerned me. I grew up in a family of atheists and although i went to a Church of England school (not much choice for a child growing up in a rural village), the appeal of religion has always been lost on me. I do consider myself vaguely spiritual and try and meditate at least once a day.

6. I feel like humans are almost too obsessed with their own existence and its importance. This question would require a few people at a dinner table with at least four to five units of alcohol consumed per person.

7. For me it would be the beaches in Norfolk, UK. Not necessarily the tourist hotspots like Hunstanton, Wells, Cromer (although I have fond memories of those places). I prefer the smaller, more isolated beaches. Perhaps it's just having gone there every single year growing up, but I don't know. There's something very calming about the whole landscape. Pic related is a 3 mile costal walk that takes you to a remote beach with sporadic dunes and grassland. Went there with my GF recently.

8. It feels like every day my brain redefines all my emotions and leaves me utterly confused and isolated in dealing with them and it's crushing me.

9. Yes & yes

10. Nah, I'm an inconsistent vegan but I haven't eaten meat in nearly three years now. Sometimes I regret not trying out fishing before I realised how shamelessly evil the whole animal produce related industry is.

A survey like that won't get people to interact much in a thread, because of the large amount of boring information thrown at them.
Specialization is key in a survey like this if one wants to further this board's culture. And seeing how you put "Longer answers preferred" in the OP this survey was made with the intent to either relieve boredom or to attain knowledge about characteristics of a person for something like a novel, meaning you could have made the survey more enjoyable on top of making it useful.

What I'm trying to say, is that you should've made the questions more in line with one another (everything about fishing as an example) or you should've only asked two or three questions.

1. I played a trombone in high school, not very well mind you but I have a rudimentary knowledge on how to play and read music.
2. no
3. Senior in college, studying anthropology.
4. I recently desired about getting serious into reading so I started reading books on mythology, and will move forward to some philosophy after that.
5-6. I don't believe in god, so I believe humans have to find reasons for living for themselves, my world view is somewhere between the absurdist importance of individual reaction to the world and the rebelious attitude in the face of the absurd coupled with the humility, kindness, and simplicity one would find in the tao te ching.
7. The smoky mountains mountain range and its attributing falls, or the ocean that seems boundless, walking out into it the water can be only up to your waist, in front of you endless blue, to the left and right the same, looking back the coast you came from and the people on it look like ants compared to where you are now, and as I said you can reach this view with the water only reaching above you waist. It was a view that made me lightheaded, and my knees weak, I can't swim very well though and that might have contributed.
8. I have had many deaths in my family over the years, my grandfather was my hero as a kid and that hit me hard in middle school, then my cousin who was in high school hung himself, and another cousin who was in his twenties had a car accident and also died. These two deaths happened a year after my grandfather died and happened within a month of each other. It was a strange time, and made death something that was no longer a stranger.
9. no
10. very rarely fish, only a few times over that past couple of years.

2. Yes. Chevy Cobalt.

3. Did 2 years of an English degree before deciding it was a waste of time and money. It's been 4 years since I dropped out, don't regret it.

4. Currently reading the His Dark Materials trilogy and Aurelius' Meditations. The former because I never read it when I was a kid; been enjoying it, makes me wish I was 12 so I could enjoy it more. The shout-outs to various mythologies are entertaining. The latter because I saw it at the library and decided to nab it; love it, full of wisdom, though I wish it was more cohesive.

5. God is irrelevant to me.

6. Depends what you mean by the human self, I guess. Will say that I think it's unlikely that there's nothing perceiving and thinking and so on.

Maybe it's because I'm surrounded by a bunch of postmodernists, but lately I've become an ardent individualist, almost to the point of solipsism. I believe that man is inherently capable of reason and self-assertion, and that enculturation/education gives him a wider vocabulary and perspective with which to do so. I'm very distrustful of the idea that identity is socially constructed beyond helping to shape this perspective, or that internalized biases can somehow "trick" people into knowing themselves or their motivations less fully than some bullshit academic.

4. Reading All Men are Mortal because a cute Danish math student told me to. It's good.
5. Agnostic 'cause can't know nuffin but in practice secular, with jewish background
6. Not sure what to make of the self, given how heavily external influences seem to weigh in on that idea. As to its importance, I'd say it's about as important or unimportant as any other phenomena
7. The Atlantic crashing against the cliffs of the east coast. Feels more like home than home does.

The Campaigns of Alexander. I'm enjoying it a lot so far. Arrian's writing seems to jump around between characters like ADHD, but it provides a nice reference to Alexander's history and his conquests.

>6. Your view on the human self, its existence/ non-existence and importance to life without reducing your answer to a discussion of its evolutionary importance.
I have personally come to think that none of it really matters in the long run. Just do what's best for yourself without hurting others, and be as happy as you can be. Give back to your country, family, community, and friends. Do as much as you can or want to help people in need.

1. I used to play the violin and I sang in a Cathedral Choir in order to earn a choral scholarship to a private school. I can read music, I recognise the lengths of notes and their purpose but I'd have to guess the sound they make.

2. No, I'd like to learn to drive soon.

3. Going on to do a Masters in Philosophy

4. Nothing at the moment. All my books are in storage. The last thing I read was about a month and a half ago, "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting", unless you count audiobooks, in which case I listened to "A Christmas Carol" I think both of them are very good. The BoLandF has some very fun concepts to muse over but I prefer A Christmas Carol for its prose and timeless story.

5. I don't think God exists, I am certain that if there is one he does not deserve attention. One of my reasonings being that according to Christains some people go to Heaven without reading the Bible because they have an inherent moral code. However if that's the case why is it that God does things that disgust our "inherent moral code" and if he is beyond us why did he give us a moral code that he doesn't live by and why didn't he give us the capacity to understand that?

6. I think that life is given value by the existence of the pleasures which I think are indubitable goods in themselves, something I know from personal experience and others I've asked often share the same view when asked whether pleasure and pain are undoubtedly good or bad respectively. I think "the self" changes from moment to moment but not significantly. I think that life is important insofar as it experiences pleasure and pain. I think the goal of life should be to maximise pleasure and minimise pain.

7. The view from the Arch d'Triumph in the rain with many happy families gathered to watch the lightshow over the Eiffel Tower.

8. I have made a move.

9. I drink very occasionally but enjoy it when I do and I've never smoked nor taken any drugs whatsoever.

10. I have fished once and ate the fish my father caught in France, that was years ago. I neither fish nor hunt, there's not much call for it in Britain.

4. V. I tend to pick away at one denser work and read smaller stuff in between to cleanse my palate. Last of those I read was the Epic of Gilgamesh- before that I rereread Words of Radiance. I just can't tear myself away from Sanderson's worlds.

5. People see agency where none exists. We think in terms of wants and hates- human concepts. The universe runs on different logic entirely, and science is our attempt to run Universe Logic on a human OS.

6. Whether or not it exists doesn't really change anything?

7. A slope full of powder with a clear bright sky overhead and a girl I wanted to show off for behind me.

8. When I was five, I was going to a theme park and my mother told me that since I had been bad she was going to waste the money (which was tight) she had spent on tickets and give them to somebody else.

5.I don't think we can prove that God exists with our current level in science.I pray sometimes but to be completely honest I don't really care if God exists.

6.Personally I believe humans are wretched creatures incapable of true and utter devotion without a personal reason.I believe everything we do is a cold calculated process,which is meant to bring us profit.In reality I say we are individualists and only care about ourselves,which is masked by the fact that we help other people.In reality even when we are being altruistic we still making a choice that is profitable to us.

5. God is potentially real in some perspectives and reference frames, but personally I don't think a higher power exists. Though I'm willing to expect the possibility that I am wrong. So, atheist I guess, but I 'm not religiously atheist if that makes since.

1. I do not play an instrument

2. I drive a 2001 Ford F-150 Lariat Crewcab with the Fx4 offroad package.

3. I graduated from a top-20 American research university with a B.S. in Biology.

4. I'm reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe because I'm curious about the psychedelic movement and it is very good.

5. God doesn't real. I grew up in a super fundamentalist home and church where we read scripture and apologetics all the time. This experience is how I know Christposters here are trolling.

6. I'm a biology major, so the human self is defined by its evolutionary origins. It does exist and it's the most important thing unless you spoof your brain to believe otherwise, which I can neither recommend nor condemn.

7. My favorite landscape so far is Namibian mountainous range land.

8. When I realized that I wasn't going to marry the girl I lost my virginity too, no matter how badly I wanted it, because I wasn't a real man yet and couldn't inspire that kind of confidence in her.

9. I drink very moderately after binging lost its shine in college. I've never smoked tobacco and don't smoke pot anymore.

10. Both avidly. I've hunted in Africa as well as all over the southern U.S.

I'm an atheist but if you base you idea of all christianity on fundamentalists you grew up with you're embracing ignorance. I'm sorry if you got touched as a kid or whatever but not everyone who believes differently than you is wrong or trolling and not everyone who calls themselves a christian has the same creed. There are literally over a billion of them and the idea is 2000 years old. There is more diversity there than you think.

Wait whut? How would it even be possible for 1.) Your entire extended family to fit in a car/van/etc. Do you live in a family in which both your parents are only children?

2.) Why would your entire extended family be in a car in the first place without you in it? Personally I don't know if I've ever seen my moms side talk to my dads side and vice versa more than once.

>1. Do you play an instrument? If so, what do you play and can you read music?
I used to play drums as a teenager (took lessons for 6 years or so), and now I am trying to learn how to play the piano on my own. I can't read music but am eager to learn as I would also like to compose music someday.
>2. Do you drive? If so, what do you drive?
No.
>3. What's your level of education? What do you study?
I'm in year 2 of a french university. I study Latin and Greek (it's called " Lettres Classiques " here.)
>4. What are you reading? Why? Good?
Right now, mostly french poetry. I love poetry and french poetry is probably the only one I'll ever understand since I am incapable of comprehending versification systems different from our syllabic one.
>5. Your view on God.
I believe in God (as in the intelligent being who willfully created everything that exists and who is infinitely good), mainly due to a personal experience of faith, but also because I think there is nothing absurd about it even from a reasonable point of view.
>6. Your view on the human self, its existence/ non-existence and importance to life without reducing your answer to a discussion of its evolutionary importance.
I believe in the immortality of the soul, and I think the current tendency to insist on the spatial significance of mankind when compared to cosmic objects is irrelevant when considering our limitless spirits.
>7. Your favorite landscape that you've actually laid your own eyes on.
Paris, the mountain/sea combination in Corsica, Switzerland in winter, the volcanoes of Auvergne. Couldn't really pick one.
>8. Saddest moment of your life in one sentence.
I can't think of one in particular.
>9. Drink/ smoke?
I drink in a patrician way : appreciating the taste of good alcohol, never searching to get drunk. I don't smoke.
>10. Hunt/ fish?
I fished once or twice and I have pleasant memories of it. Never hunted.

1. yes, guitar, bass, drums, and piano. i can read the most simple and standard of single notes for piano. i used to know how to read piano music but i stopped practicing many years ago and forgot how to.

2. yes, a volvo.

3. bachelor's degree and teaching credential. liberals arts degree focused on euro medieval history.

4. one flew over the cuckoo's nest. i enjoy it but it is rather long. i've paused from it and hastily read "a confederacy of dunces." i really liked that one. it was as good as everyone claimed it to be. sensible chuckle for days. i am almost done with over the cuckoo's nest. eager to see how it ends.

5. no god, no masters, no trigger warnings

6. i'm too basic to understand your terms as they stand. the human self exists....and then....yeah....? we are ingenious mimics. importance to life? what does that mean? am i being evolutionary?

7. i've seen icebergs from a ship and that was pleasant. the colors and serenity of it all gives off a very comforting and certain feeling. i've been to yosemite where an entire row of hills were caught aflame years past. the stumps of the hundreds of trees that remained along the rolling mounds were something to truly be viewed.

8. lost my group of friends to an ex-gf and her new bf who happened to be my friend. broke off from them and was depressed for a good long while. these guys were the circle i grew up with since kindergarten. eventually they all apologize to me and we are all bestest of buds again. dude even broke it off with the ex-gf and literally prostrated in front of me for forgiveness. you don't have to be blood to be family it seems. my cat died a few years ago. that was very sad but the feeling did not last very long. it was just very strong, but short.

I rightly pass an atheist. I am sympathetic to the views of Derrida on the issue. To put it bluntly, I am skeptical of any claim that says, "I am an atheist, theist, deist, agnostic, etc." However, I don't go to church, attend prayers, nor do I participate in any religious events. So whether someone wants to call me agnostic, atheist, deist, etc., is irrelevant. I am not religious, and that is the end of the issue for me. I can speak more in regard to the issue of God, but I think there are much more legitimate people that I would defer to, e.g., Feuerbach, Schleiermacher, Kierkegaard, Ricoeur, Buber, and others.

1. I play piano and sing. Working on learning guitar as well. I can not fluently read sheet music at the speed to translate it to what I play, but I do understand sheet music.

2. No.

3. Currently in college. Playwriting degree and performance degree like a total shitstain pleb.

4. "Ancient Civilizations before the Greeks and Romans" by H. Saggs. It's boring as hell, but every few pages there's something that is probably worth knowing. I started with the ancients like a dipshit. Cant wait to resume m reading of the greeks though.

5. Monism. Materialist. Atheist Existentialism.

6. Well, it seems there are influences coming from the neuro/psychology schools, physiology/biology schools, economics/social sciences, memetics, and personal philosophy all go into a "self." I define the "self" as a body with an acquired language. But any kind of "self" that is based in souls or metaphysics is bunk. Without a functioning body, there is no "self." Therefor, I'd argue a self is, as Shelly Kagan of Yale University explains, like a long timeline tracking a single body. He explains it much better in his Open Yale Class, "DEATH."
People get too focused on what their brain is thinking and assume that's their self, without being in touch with their bodies.

7. REcently I've taken quite a liking to the view of Chicago from the Sox-35th Red Line stop IIT bridge. But the best landscape I've ever seen is certainly back home in Connecticut. Chester and Westbrook, CT both have marvelous forests and lakes. I need to travel more.

8. Got dumped by my first one-itis, then existential crisis. Or that time when I was 5 and my drunk cunt of a Mom stabbed my Dad in the hand with a fork and came into my room, took all my clothes, and screamed at me while my Dad drove away like a athetic bitch and left me with her.

9. Hardly drink ever. Never touched tobacco. Used to smoke weed a lot. Maybe once every 2 or 3 month is frequent for me now.

10. I don't, but I sure would like to. I love the outdoors, and I think catching my own food every now and then would be a worthwhile endeavor.

I'd say I believe in a god, but more as a force beyond understanding and that possibly gives not two shits about our existence. Human existence is a sad and limited endeavor, locked into dealing with its own mortality and believing in permanence like a damn fool. This is a whole lot of shit and I'm very lazy to put actual thought on it though.

>Your favorite landscape that you've actually laid your own eyes on.
A riverbed in the hills, down the state towards the coast. I saw the sun rising behind it from a bus as I made my way to Rio. I was not expecting such beauty there, it took my breath away.

I guess it depends how you define important. We're pretty important to ourselves, we're the only beings with that level of cognition. Living in a sense is all you do, so it's important for almost anyone, exceptions being suicides.
7. Your favorite landscape that you've actually laid your own eyes on.

That's tough. The things are typically sad (death and all that) I don't react all that much.

1. I played piano as a kid, but didn't get very far, and I can read music very basically.
2. I do not drive. I must be seizure-free for at least a year to drive, but my most recent seizure was like an hour ago, and I had another one a couple of hours before that. I can't see myself driving in the foreseeable future.
3. I got my full high school education, and a year of college, but then I dropped out because I was spending two and a half hours commuting every day and it was too much.

10. No. I don't eat fish -- I will eat hunted deer/pork, but I don't hunt myself because getting places to hunt in is too difficult when you can't drive and no one will take anyone with epilepsy out back into the beyond and hand them a gun because that's fucking moronic.

PhD. Originally studied chemistry, now researching a branch of atmospheric chemistry.
>4. What are you reading? Why? Good?
Plutarch's Greek Lives. I finished Suetonius Lives of the Twelve Caesars a few days ago, picked this up afterwards. Good read, I enjoy this Herodotus-esque type of history, with it's cordial manner and almost gossipy asides. Other than that, re-reading Buddenbrooks and occasionally reading a story or two from The Cyberiad.
>5. Your view on God.
I take the view that there's a Dionysian, primordial side of human nature, one that is irrational and prone to being gripped by chaotic emotions. Whether God is just an idea that results from the impressions gained while in that state, or whether God is the cause of it is something of interest.
>6. Your view on the human self, its existence/ non-existence and importance to life without reducing your answer to a discussion of its evolutionary importance.
See above - duality between a rational, concious side able to overcome the limitations that nature has imposed on the human organism, and an irrational side that stirs as a result of ritual or emotionally intensive experiences.

1) I can play basic piano, but it has been years
2) I can't drive
3) Master's degree in law (university of Ghent), currently master's degree in international relations (Oxford university)
4) The Sixth Extinction. It's a really pleasant read about the current wave of extinctions. I was tired of reading fiction.
5) Agnostic-atheist. I don't believe in any religion or god, nor do I see the need for a god to explain the creation of the universe. But I cannot decisively disprove the existence of god, nor can I answer all of live's most important questions. So I'm not a full fledged atheist.
6) I have the same views as other existentialists. I never asked to exist, it's painful and filled with terrors and sorrow. Just try to make the best of it, and find meaning in your own pleasures.

Not one moment, but the fact that I fucked things up with a girl a few years back. Really think it would have been good, I still think about it years after. Often have dreams where I am with her, doing trivial things like lying on a bench or walking on a meadow. Those dreams are better than anything I have ever experienced in real life.0 Then I wake up and realize that it isn't real, makes me incredibly sad. Sounds pathetic, I know.

1. Do you play an instrument? If so, what do you play and can you read music?
I can play guitar and have very rudimentary piano abilities. I can read music, but not fast enough to play it on sight.

2. Do you drive? If so, what do you drive?
No. 25 years old and no license. I gotta get on that. Although I live in a major city with a pretty comprehensive public transportation system.

Bachelor of Arts in English (lol) with areas of interest including apocalypse narratives, OuLiPo, and digital culture

No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai
It's okay. The narrator seems to have Asperger's, but he can turn a pretty phrase.

5. Your view on God.
If a god exists (which I doubt) it is beyond our ability to know or comprehend that fact. Or they are entirely outside our sensory perception.

1. I play guitar and I sing, but I can't read music. My younger brother is the musical talent in the family. I recognize the similarities between music and language, but it does not come as naturally to me. Being mediocre lets me practice more and harder. Being decent at writing means that I cringe at it 6 months or a year later, so I stopped.

2. I drive a 20 year old Lexus. The A/C is broken.

3. I flunked out of college after four years. I struggled to care about GE's, but I did pretty well in most upper level English classes. I failed English 105 twice when I went back for those credits, so I just gave up at that point. The professors wanted me to, even.

4. I haven't read anything in years, I spend all evening drinking beer and smoking pot. I'm trying to read Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins, and hopefully I can recapture my love of reading.

5. There is no meaningful influence by God, so I don't believe in him. I do think about talking to him, like I do a genie.

6. I struggle with my existential self, but I know it doesn't have to be this way. I just do it badly.

7. Wolfgangsee in Austria.

8. I can't remember if I sold my soul so my rat could live a little longer.

9. Cigarettes, beer, and weed. They are a knot!

10. No, and not in years. I would hunt birds if I could.

1. I practice Guitar and Piano every now and then but can't really properly play either of them. Just some melodies of some songs I like but not full songs. I really do try to practice guitar even little every day. I can't read music.

2. No. My driving licence was almost done few years ago but then something happened and I got really depressed so I never completed it. Now I feel like I probably forgot everything and since I couldn't even afford a car I haven't been motivated to go finnish it. I plan to get it in this year though.

3. College. I study animation and special effects.

4. Free Will by Sam Harris. Never really thought about the subject before I read some discussion of it hear. I wanted to read that one because its short and I heard its good. I'm enjoying it.

5. I think I'm agnostic. I wouldn't argue about gods existence and I love science. I've never really believed any of the stories in bible but for some reason I still believe in some kind of higher power.

6. I don't know. I'm bit too tired to start think about it right now. Sorry

7. I don't think I have one. I like to gaze at the stars at night.

8. Finding my dad dead.

9. Both. I have cut down on smoking and do it only three times a day now and intend to stop completely. I drink almost every weekend.

10. Never hunted. I have fished but its not really my hobby.

>6. Your view on the human self, its existence/ non-existence and importance to life without reducing your answer to a discussion of its evolutionary importance.
Meaning in life is found through personal conviction, and hopes and dreams that transcend mere hedonism.
>7. Your favorite landscape that you've actually laid your own eyes on.
A wheat field near my parent's farm during a sunset. Absolutely beautiful. Besides that the Alps.
>8. Saddest moment of your life in one sentence.
Hearing my mother would be brain damaged for the rest of her life.
>9. Drink/ smoke?
Yes. Both. But in moderate amounts.
>10. Hunt/ fish?
No, although I should take of hunting to try and gain the approval of my father before it is too late.

>but why would he create a world where all of that is possible?
Because he can. Also free will for his children. Both work.
> wouldn't loving deity make an absolutely perfect world, with no possibility of ever becoming worse?
Why would it? By which logical connection does God being perfect mean he must create a world without suffering? This wolrld already is "perfect" as a work of engeneering afaig. Also loving doesn't mean a puppy loving God who gives you all the food and pleasure you wish for.
