it may be that he who bestows the largest amount of time and money on the needy is doing the most by his mode of life to produce that misery which he strives in vain to relieve.

— Henry David Thoreau, Walden, p. 70

I try to write from a neutral point of view, I however have strong views on certain ethical questions. I am

• a secular humanist, empirical agnostic, negative atheist, and physicalist;
• a member of Amnesty International,
• and the Green Party of South Africa; a vegan; and not a biological parent or car user ("No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.").

If these positions make my writing biased, either because I'm not noticing my bias or overcompensating, please tell me.

WMF elections.

2006-09.

I voted for only Mindspillage.

2007-06.

I voted for only Yann.

A high number indicates

• pro ads,
• pro branding,
• against reducing the WMF's GHGs emissions.

: Chart of candidate positions on ads.

2008-06.

I voted

• 1 Steve Smith (Sarcasticidealist)
• 2 Harel Cain (Harel)
• 100 (blank) for the rest for holding deal breaker positions. Eventho Kurt M. Weber and Gregory Kohs received by far the worst subject scores according to my personal voting criteria (a 98 and 85, a 80 and 99 (100s were for unanswered questions)), the others crossed lines that made me incapable of voting for them in good conscience.
