About who am i? same as Odysseus (homo viator) told the cyclops, "Nobody" ...

... worshipper - servant - only of that sublimely monstrous, self-devouring, deaf dumb & blind god "Nature".

(i.e. an epicurean-spinozist ... "pandeist?")

anyway: 'happy childhood'. no wives or kids. far-flung, (mostly) life-long, good friends. avid hiker, non-player gamer, voracious reader, music junkie sapiosexual solo polyamourist, compulsive flâneur & recreational dialectician: absurdist, freethinker &

... left libertarian (re: STAKEholder political-economy (e.g. political demarchy + economic democracy + time-credit mutualism + cosmopolitan agonism)).

:death: :flower:

there
is
no godot
but
Death,
and
Sleep
is
her prophet.

(i.e. meontophilia)?
