I’m an ambient musician, science enthusiast, humanist, free thinker and skeptic.
I mostly read non-fiction science books by authors such as Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett. When I read fiction, it is usually science fiction, fantasies or mysteries. I am quite fond of the Hitchhiker’s Guide series and the Harry Potter series.
Quotes to enjoy:
“For me, it is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.” – Carl Sagan
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” – Aristotle
“It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” – Albus Dumbledore
“Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.” – Isaac Asimov
“Be excellent to each other.” – Bill S. Preston, Esq.
I am interested in the search for extraterrestrial life and intrigued by such a discovery’s possible implications on a global society at war with itself.
