What is beauty? What is love? Beauty is a subjective "thing" that cannot be universally explained, so this explanation does not apply to everyone.
Beauty is both simple and complicated, it cannot be explained through words accurately. Beauty is something that can be understood by a child, yet contains life changing information, that is beauty in my eyes.
Love is something I'm not familiar with, so my explanation may be contradicting and flawed.
Love is both a curse and a blessing, it can change a man or woman's path for good or evil. It can cloud a mans judgement but make him happy, love is one of the few things in this world that is neutral, not good, not bad, it just is.
What are your most important values? Logic, honesty, simplicity, and honor.
Do you have any sort of spiritual/religious beliefs, and why do you hold (or don't) those beliefs in the first place? I'm Christian.
I believe in god and Jesus for many reasons, but I have two main reasons.
1. Many criticize the bible saying it's inconsistent and contradictory, then they criticize me for believing in it. I find this ridiculous because never once do I say that I follow the Bible. The Bible is a book, it is a physical object that can be manipulated for the manipulator's own good. While the Bible may say gays should be stoned, I don't believe that at all, homosexuals are humans just like me or you (If you're heterosexual). My opinion of god is a lot deeper than this but I want to keep myself from writing a essay on it.
2.Hope. What's the point in all this violence if there isn't a end goal? If there is no end goal set out for us I see no point in living.
Opinion on war and militaries? What is power to you? War is both necessary and foolish, it drives human-kind to create and destroy. It makes brilliant ideas come to life while taking the lives of millions, it is a sad part of human nature that one cannot destroy without destroying human-kind itself.
Power is influence, nothing less, nothing more.
What have you had long conversations about? What are your interests? Why? I've had long conversations about many things, mostly philosophical subjects, however I'd prefer to have a long conversation about quantum physics or chaos theory.
As stated above I enjoy quantum physics and chaos theory, I also enjoy pondering about the possibility of more than 4 dimensions(including time), I enjoy programing, I like building computers, and finally I like gaming.
I have no idea why I like these things, when I think about it I guess I like them because they're logical and complicated, I enjoy trying to make the complicated, simple.
Interested in health/medicine as a conversation topic? Are you focused on your body? I'm not really interested in medical subjects, they never really appealed to me.
I stay in shape but I often take walks and things like that because it calms me, I often have panic attacks because I over think large questions such as The existence of God, Life, death, and the line in between, and how humanity is going to fair in the next 500 years or so.
What do you think of daily chores? Repetitive, boring, and strenuous, but necessary.
Books or films you liked? Recently read/watched or otherwise. Examples welcome. My favorite book is Flatlands: The Romance of Many Dimensions, it is a wonderful book about a 2 dimensional world and the people in it. I don't read books very often, I prefer to look anything I need up on the internet.
What has made you cry? What has made you smile? Why? I haven't every cried due to sadness I think. I've cried mostly due to pain, but that was when I was young and fairly wimpish. when I got news that my father died I only cried because I felt like I had to, not because I was sad.
I've smiled due to good jokes and gifts, nothing really special.
Where do you feel: at one with the environment/a sense of belonging? Outside in the forest, it's calming and quiet, it allows me to think clearly without interruption.
What have people seen as your weaknesses? What do you dislike about yourself? My lack of emotions and logical nature. People consider that a bad thing, I understand why they would think that from their perspective but from my perspective it seems not only normal, but right and just.
i dislike my inability to socialize, I'm not shy, I just can't socialize, I dislike people in general and that leads to me embarrassing myself
and then they never talk to me again, not that I really care because if they left me over something so idiotic I wouldn't want to spend time with them anyway.
What have people seen as your strengths? What do you like about yourself? Intelligent and mindful. I'm often considered one of the most intelligent person people have ever seen, a title I resent due to the fact that I am merely using basic knowledge and applying it to problems, I'm not some wizard who knows everything.
I like that I'm logical, I feel that too many people these days use emotions rather then logic, they go with what feels right rather than what is right.
In what areas of your life would you like help? My inability to socialize, I wish someone would teach me how to enjoy others company, right now I see others as sheep to be lead by the Sheppard
Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it. I always feel stuck in a rut, mainly because that's what most humans end up in, most won't become famous, rich or powerful. Most will because unhappy, it's the sad way of life.
What qualities do you most like and dislike in other people? What types do you get along with? I dislike when they're overly emotional. I like it when people understand what I'm trying to say.
I get along with people that are different from me, they allow me to get a new view that I otherwise wouldn't get to see.
How do you feel about romance/sex? What qualities do you want in a partner? Sex is merely the act of mating, not a big deal. Romance is a much more serious concept, it requires not only physical connection, but also emotional, for one such as me this seems difficult to understand.
I look for someone who can bring my ideas to the light, I want her to represent my ideas with grace, intelligence, and clarity. I want someone who can "deal" with my lack of emotions and logical view to everything, but I will open up to a person through time and eventually I because a very "silly" person.
If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why? My main concerns would be individuality, I want him/her to think for herself and take everything she/he hears as false until proven by her/his own research. I would talk to her every day on how she/he should even take my words as false until proven true.
To many people "go with the flow" and follow everything just because a political figure or celebrity says so without looking up what they're saying for themselves.
A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward and outward reaction? My inward reaction would be to consider both his/her and my belief as false until one of them is proven using both the information I've just received and the already known information.
my outward reaction would be to inquire about his/her belief and why he/she thinks that way, while also debating him/her on his/her logic.
Describe your relationship to society. How do you see people as a whole? What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one. My relationship to society is somewhat like Morpheus in The Matrix, I awaken those who're "worthy".
People in general are horrible things who are selfish and ignorant.
The most prevalent social problem is ignorance, to many people are fine with listening to another persons opinion and agreeing with it despite that that opinion has little to no facts backing it up.
How do you choose your friends and how do you behave around them? I choose my friends by how they argue, who they are can be seen by how they argue.
I behave naturally, I refrain from hurting their feelings because I care about them.
I don't have many friends though.
How do you behave around strangers? I'm not afraid to tell people how it is, and what's wrong directly in front of them. I behave politely and kind, while also giving them straight information and solutions. I often hide my emotions from those around me until I really trust them.
