Mundus vult decipi
Saturday, September 27th, 2008I’ve witnessed my political ideology shift, from,”It is hard to reach across the aisle from that far to the left” to a classical liberalism, and now, with this website, I’m studying libertarianism.

In doing so, there is a hope for liberation, of self and others; a validation but also a solution to the frustration that we seem to be hard-wired to think only of ourselves, and in doing so become ensnared within a system that easily manipulates this tendency.
