we are the man of sun.

My name is Patrick. Currently a Public Policy undergrad. I blog about politics, science, books/reading, veganism, human rights, animal rights, quotes, plants, photography, philosophy (especially determinism, existentialism, and ethics), cultures (and culture jamming), and art and music. I enjoy exploring and evolution and the universe both make me feel absolutely amazed and grateful to be alive every single day of my sorry little life. I believe in community; the Commons; the collective. Seminal Books: Ishmael, Twilight of the Elites, The Reactionary Mind, The God Delusion, The Moral Landscape, A Language Older Than Words, Endgame (Jensen NOT Alex Jones), Life Without Oil, and Rules for Radicals.

But to live without philosophizing is in truth the same as keeping the eyes closed without attempting to open them; and the pleasure of seeing all that sight discloses is not to be compared with the satisfaction afforded by the discoveries of philosophy.
