I always change. I sometimes read through my old e-mails, 1 month old, and I find one's that I disagree with.
As long as you can convince me of an argument sufficiently well I will change.

For example, it says he supports philosophy, but I remember him loathing philosophy.
I still hate philosophy. I was referring to certain types of philosophies back then and I still dislike them. I did however develop an interest in the philosophy of the mind.

(in some senses, I am nihilist too)


I do not agree with 1a, that is just stupid. But I strongly agree with 1b and 2.

By the way, existentialist are nihilists on denial. Please do not be one, they are too cowardly.

It says he is libertarian and communist,
This is hard for me to say, but, um, well, .., hmm, I now hate communism.
We should stop caring for the collective and focus more on individualism.

and it has a quote by Freud, I don't understand it, this is very different from the TPH I remember, and so I wanted to stop in long enough to find out what it's about.
I probably changed in every single belief system except in math. My views on math are unchanged . That is again why I think math is so beautiful. But in anything else I cannot really think of anything where I did not change.

Much of my change is because of YouTube. There were some (in particular one person) people who said things that I really liked and they influenced me in some ways.
