Biographical Information
Biographical Information

Location: Calgary, Canada

Biography: Atheist - “What are these churches now if they are not the tombs & sepulchres of God?” Nietzsche

Environmentalist - “We shall only survive if we equip ourselves to live differently than we have up till now.” - Rudolf Bahro

Father - “Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of children.” - Richard Henry Dana

Feminist - “Femininity is neither a natural nor an innate entity, but rather a condition brought about by society, on the basis of certain physiological characteristics.” Simone de Beauvoir

Neo-Anarchist - “The problem is not changing people’s consciousness - or what’s in their heads - but the political, economic, institutional regime of the production of truth.” Michel Foucault.

Pacifist - “People are not mere units, to be added, multiplied, or subtracted. They do not figure in any kind of equation, because each individual life is an incommensurable quantity; to sacrifice one person for the sake of ten means acquiescing in a sheer absurdity.” - Simone de Beauvoir

Psychonaut - “To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with survival or to a human being obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally..." Aldous Huxley

Vegan - "Humans--who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals--have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and "animals" is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them--without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeeling toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. The behaviour of other animals renders such pretensions specious. They are just too much like us." - Dr. Carl Sagan & Dr. Ann Druyan
