Mythology: I believe in the Archetypes of Jungian Philosophy: myths, folktales, and fairytales are symbols that represent how humans perceive and interact with reality. Though, I also believe some stories are Euhemeristic, having been exaggerated real-world events, and still others as Propaganda, cultural narratives to push forward certain agendas.

Authorship: I'm the author of the "Live Like a Champion - Children's Book Series" available on Amazon, and I wish to continue my publishing journey. Writing allows me to organize my thoughts and validate my ideas, which I find fulfilling. My plan is to complete the children's series, which currently consists of four parts, but may expand in the future. Following that, I intend to write a more intricate book geared toward an adult audience. Originally, I had envisioned authoring the comprehensive book first, but I decided to start with the children's series to refine my thoughts and ensure that I don't overlook any essential details.

Media: I hold a profound admiration for Jordan Peterson and his body of work. I resonate with nearly all of his ideas and viewpoints. In addition to my writing, I've also launched my own YouTube channel, "JBP Fan Club." Through this platform, I share my evolving journey of self-discovery and understanding. While Jordan Peterson focuses on understanding meaning, religion, and politics, my primary interest lies in comprehending how one can best grasp the nature of reality. My lifelong quest to understand reality has steered me towards epistemology, a discipline formally dedicated to the study of knowledge, even before I knew it was a formal field of research.

My Value of Intersubjectivity: Discovery doesn't alter our reality; it reveals what already exists. Therefore, let's embrace these answers without fear, no matter how atrocious, preposterous, or contrary to our beliefs they may initially appear. I value each person's perspective as a fragment of the larger and more intricate reality, akin to how many two-dimensional images come together to form a three-dimensional shape. I hold the belief that comprehending the complexity of reality hinges on our capacity to grasp our individual subjective glimpses and integrate them cohesively.

Debate Omission Notice: I have made a personal decision to decline debate invitations due to the negative impact they often have on fostering understanding. The lack of a shared understanding of key terms and failure to grasp the context of questions often leads to hostility and animosity among participants, hindering productive and beneficial discussions. My ultimate goal is to engage in learning and teaching without causing frustration for my counterparts, as I consider them not as adversaries but as fellow seekers of knowledge.

ChatGPT Disclaimer: I would like to emphasize that I form my perspective, debate with ChatGPT, refine my understanding, and then have it better articulate my stance effectively. ChatGPT has substantial limitations in philosophy, especially regarding morals and ethics. It presents many perspectives and encourages one of forming personal beliefs. This collaboration benefits exploring new viewpoints and deepening my understanding. In my understanding, prohibiting the use of a calculator in daily life is similar to forbidding the use of ChatGPT for explaining oneself or aiding in comprehending others, as it would hinder progress.

Non-Plagiarism Disclaimer: I acknowledge that plagiarism involves falsely claiming another person's work as one's own. I understand that thoughts and ideas, including my own, are influenced by the collective knowledge present in the universe. Rather than affiliating myself with a particular institution or individual, I consider myself a student of the universe, seeking wisdom from its vast repository of knowledge. I recognize that our understanding is built upon the shared wisdom of those who preceded us, and I attribute my knowledge, as well as that of others, to the universal source rather than any specific entity. By acknowledging and giving credit to the universal wellspring of knowledge, and refraining from appropriating it as my own, I affirm my commitment to avoiding plagiarism.
