I’m picky about who I hold up and say, “This person represents my way of thinking closely enough” and he’s one of the rare fits.

I spent nine months hanging around philosophy people and then a year hanging around the alt.right to understand their POVs better.

I think you may like it. *This* is the kind of skepticism I prefer. What fascinates me about this, is that I came to agnosticism from the OPPOSITE DIRECTION entirely.

I WENT through a bunch of religious things, while remaining skeptical but curious.

But he went through a bunch of ATHEIST things, the whole rational/reason/skeptical/atheist mashup – before coming to the same conclusions as me.

Two opposite directions, reaching the same reasonable middle.
