What is beauty? What is love? I've come across multiple valid definitions for both which are different in significant ways but yet are still are identifiable as love or beauty.
Love and beauty exists in the same class as justice as ineffable concepts.
What are your most important values?Love and beauty exists in the same class as justice as ineffable concepts.
Beauty because of it has no obvious purpose.
Honour, kindness and courage just underneath beauty in importance.
Do you have any sort of spiritual/religious beliefs, and why do you hold (or don't) those beliefs in the first place?Honour, kindness and courage just underneath beauty in importance.
Nope, I find it hard to believe, I don't really have the talent.
Opinion on war and militaries? What is power to you? The application of power/force as a choice in complicated critical situations fascinates me. It's all about effectiveness/ineffectiveness, moral choices, incomplete information, mental health, fear of death, sacrifice, honour and sheer violence. How is that not interesting?
What have you had long conversations about? What are your interests? Why? I chat a lot of shit with different people about different things. Usually I guide the conversation to over-analysing a small section of their life, like the purpose of their job or some pre-packaged "interesting" thought about spicy food and ethics or mystery religions and nofap. I spend a lot of time making lonely people/outsiders in parties feel welcome.
Interested in health/medicine as a conversation topic? Are you focused on your body? I've been feeling very mortal lately so I'm really into health stuff.
What do you think of daily chores? I'm always behind on them... always.
Books or films you liked? Recently read/watched or otherwise. Examples welcome. I don't watch movies often but I enjoyed Whiplash.
The Master and his Emissary is still one the most interesting books I've read recently.
The nature of consciousness + philosophy + brain science appears to be my jam these days.

The nature of consciousness + philosophy + brain science appears to be my jam these days.
