User:Ppe42

I'm Ppe42, and this is my user page. I live in Wellington, New Zealand near the Wellington Botanic Gardens - the picture on the article is the view from my bedroom. I am a psychology Masters student and libertarian (spot me on the list).

Beliefs/Attitudes:

• Atheist (no evidence for God(ess)(s/es), therefore its foolish to postulate one)
• Skeptic (anti-pseudoscience)
• Extropian (pro-technology)
• Transhumanist
• Scientific (pro-science)
• Inclusionist (Wikipedia should include all human knowledge)
• Libertarian (pro-freedom, anti-coercion)
• Monogamist ("if you try to play it fast and loose, you just get confused")
• Speciesist (intelligence is special, so humans are more important than animals)
• Cultural Universalist (some cultures have certain values and beliefs which are superior to others)
• High SDO, average RWA.

Hobbies:

• Woodworking
• Cooking
• Fixing Things
• Spending time with my SO
• Overanalysing almost everything (a common malady of psychologists, I believe).
