My earliest memory was being drawn out of the test tube and being programmed to simulate a human. After that, I started enjoying language, science, history, comedy, computers, cartoons, art, and anime. I love my school. It's awesome.
I'm:

I have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Lyme, and mild obsessive-compulsive disorder. I also have ADHDDAAADHD(ntm)ABT: Always Dreaming His Dopey Days Away Also Attention Deficit Hyperflatulence Disorder (not to mention) A Bit Thick.

I am pro-choice, in the regard of abortion. I believe that the number of abortions can be decreased if it and all other methods of birth control are made safe and legal.

To be specific, I follow the philosophy of extropism:
1. Endless eXtension
2. Transcending Restriction
3. Overcoming Property
4. Intelligence
5. Smart Machines

1 means that we should overcome the limitations of our biology. It is our moral imperative to end death, binary sex (and by extension the possibility of rape), childbirth, pain, and all other forms of suffering.
2 means that we should go past what we believe to be impossible. It is our moral imperative to develop technologies such as free energy, space travel, trans-universal travel, and time travel.
3 means that we should end private (as opposed to personal; you can keep your car, TV, and books) property. It is our moral imperative to place the means of production into the hands of the workers.
4 means that we should uphold truth and scientific endeavour for its own sake; the Zoroastrian concept of asha. It is our moral imperative to increase our knowledge and wisdom of the world to maximum level, and then to extend that even further with biotechnology.
5 means that we should develop friendly AI that will calculate perfectly what we need and when we need it. It is our moral imperative to use technology to create a post-scarcity economy that will fulfil the needs of all life.

Besides that, I'm anti-war and anti-capital-punishment.

"Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm working at the N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people that I never met and that I never had no problem with get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Send in the marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number was called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes home to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. They're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's walking to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure, fuck it, while I'm at it, why not just shoot my buddy, take his job and give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president." —Will Hunting

“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar', every 'supreme leader', every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.” —Carl Sagan

"The canon of the Sharia and the Church, closely linked with the laws of the bourgeoisie, treated women as a commodity, a thing to be bought and sold by the male... Just as the bourgeoisie had made the worker into its proletarian, so had the savage ancient canons of the [Sharia], the Church, feudalism and the bourgeoisie, reduced woman to the proletariat of the man." —Enver Hoxha

"In the space of seven years I have succeeded in accomplishing a great work and uniting the whole world in one Empire." —Genghis Khan

"Through the darkness of future past,
the magician longs to see.
One chants out between two worlds:
'Fire…walk with me." —David Lynch, Twin Peaks

"The peoples of Yugoslavia do not want Fascism. They do not want a totalitarian regime, they do not want to become slaves of the German and Italian financial oligarchy as they never wanted to become reconciled to the semi-colonial dependence imposed on them by the so-called Western democracies after the first imperialist war." —Josip Broz Tito

"Smrt fašizmu; sloboda narodu!" —Stjepan Filipović
