staunch

I try to express ideas on HN as truthfully as possible and without regard for whether an idea is popular. But I'm never contrarian just for the sake of being contrarian. Sometimes this approach results in great discussions and other times I miss the mark.

I try to put into practice G. H. Hardy's words that "It is never worth a first-class man's time to express a majority opinion. By definition, there are plenty of others to do that."

Because I do not believe in free will, I view everyone as always doing the best they can, given their genetics and environment. I have hatred for absolutely no one and have deep affection for all conscious creatures.

Thank you!
