Will's Interests

General

I love intellectual engagement, including reading, writing, learning, teaching, and discussing. I am especially interested in ideologies such as pantheism, mutualism, and anarchism, but I like to learn about all perspectives.

I like to engineer new social and economic systems that increase freedom and equality so that people can be more fully themselves and meet their needs better.

I love animals, domestic and wild. Dogs are my favorite, but I also like cats and farm animals. I also like ecological and environmental stuff in general, including stuff like permaculture. I am an antapodist vegetarian, which is a strict, vegan-adjacent (but not vegan) vegetarian.

Music

I like a wide range of music, and for different reasons. I love music like folk, anarchist punk, conscious hip-hop, and even sometimes working class country for the socially real lyrics, but I like heavy music like hardcore, crust, metal, and grind for its energy (and sometimes the lyrics if I feel like reading liner notes, lol). I like electropop or synthpop, darkwave, EBM, post-rock, and stuff like that when I just want something fun in the background.

Movies

Documentaries, infotainment.

Television

Boring.

Books

Nonfiction (history, philosophy, science, religion, manuals, reference materials) only. I am generally well-read in nonfiction.

Heroes

"Hero" isn't a word I would choose to use, but people who have been major inspirations to me include Baruch Spinoza, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, and others like them.

Games

Board games, card games, sports.

Will's Bio

I'm Will from East Texas.

I have a beautiful wife whom I love and share a homestead with. We love learning about the world and teaching others, as well as raising animals, and she likes to garden when she gets the time. We also have a small food business together.

I used to play drums in hardcore punk bands. I have a few decent folk songs that I wrote on acoustic guitar. I like to draw, paint, and make stuff.

I'm an autodidactic polymath and a lay, folk philosopher, which means that I am just like you-- I don't have any fancy titles-- except I have read and thought about things to the point of having constructed a system of thought. My work has been cited in books, including a PhD dissertation. I would love to teach you about my philosophy. 

If it wasn't so rational, one could say that I am quite passionate, perhaps even religious or utopian, about the potential for human cooperation and social harmony.

I'd love to make some close friends around shared beliefs or life pursuits. I'm very interested in interpersonal reciprocity, economic cooperation, and mutualism between peoples.

In lieu of that, I'd like to meet folks who are interested in nonfiction topics and getting involved in community self-help projects. I don't really care too much about their personal beliefs or age, so long as they can get along with others who differ from themselves and are committed to learning the truth and thinking for themselves. I'd also like to meet people who have serious interests, pursuits, and goals of their own more generally.

My wife went through early menopause, and so cannot bear me children. I have her blessing to establish a relationship with someone we both get along with. But I'm not thirsty and that's not why I am here. But if you think we'd pair great, and you're a reasonable age, send a message along.
