Feel free to join my discord server to talk with very open minded and/or critical people: https://discord.gg/2Yv2NFQwDW

My presuppositions/axioms:
- The law of identity.
- The law of excluded middle.
- The law of non-contradiction.
- Inductive inference.
- That it's always best to do what is rational.

Some of my controversial positions:
- Moral nihilist.
- Anarchist.
- Atheist.
- I believe we don't have free will/moral responsibility.
- Psychological hedonist (at least practically).

Due to the is-ought gap, I believe nothing genuinely axiologically/ethically good/bad/valuable truly exists.

However I endeavor to maximize my chances of discovering what is ethically and axiologically good/bad/valuable just in case such thing(s) exist, in an effort to act according to them if they do, because I believe that is the most rational thing to do.

I'm an advocate for replacing from mandatory education things that will be virtually useless for a large portion of people such as advanced math and biology. I believe we should instead have classes on psychology (especially cognitive biases and methods to avoid them), practical epistemology, basic logic and other things fundamental to bringing up very open minded and critical people.

Long-term due to the success of Summerhill and similar schools, I believe we should endeavor to emulate their models. In particular I believe voluntary education and democratic schools would be immensely beneficial, but I don't expect enough people to be in favor of implementing that on a large scale until the populace becomes much more open minded and critical.

I'm a tentative anarchist because I currently believe a very open minded and critical populace could largely overcome the biggest problems with anarchism. and I think centralized power tends to invite quite a bit of corruption that could end up (unintentionally or intentionally) causing the populace to become much less open minded and critical or other major issues if we aren't careful.
