Humanist, freethinker and critical thinker to the best of my ability; big believer in intellectual and epistemic humility; compassionate and patient most days -- also a fan of some well pointed barbed shots; empathy for human strangeness; I read a lot...
I think about this image a lot...
Brings back passages out of Iain McGilchrist's "The Master and His Emissary".

The thinking of conspiracy theorists fascinates me.
“We're being run by a secretive elite that is so secretive I can see what they're doing."
“I have alternative news and I find out differently.”
"Behold the persuasive power of absent evidence."
