INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM
Free inquiry is an important freedom to have. I believe that the best way for humankind to extend knowledge and maximize understanding is by allowing individuals a maximum amount of liberty of thought, belief, questioning and inquiry. I particularly value having this liberty because, unlike many, I am especially curious. I’m driven to seek out and explore new territory in pursuing intellectual rewards. I get a thrill out of acquiring new knowledge, distinguishing between knowledge and speculation, probing the world of appearances for the underlying reality, making new connections, and applying my reasoning and analytical skills in refining and extending my worldview, that conceptual map that’s my guide to finding the way through and making sense out of the confusion of existence.
