Political opinion on Marxism, and its rising popularity in NA/CA youth, especially in the academical world, as well as the rising post modernism and it's effect on current society?
Marxism is good, the majority of people who critisize marxism do so because of the severe propaganda the capitalist system has put out, most people don't realize that marxism is an ideology of equality above all else. The tide is turning in America, the writing is on the wall, as people become more aware of the world around them through technology, an ideology like Marxism becomes almost a necessity to maintain civilization long term.
Political opinion on the US military budget, and military in general?
They're terrorists, mass murderers, war criminals, mislead youth, and genocidal.
Political opinion on NA education and its institutions (mainly colleges and universities)?
The biggest issue i have with higher education is that it is so expensive it serves to create a significant cultural and knowledge gap between those we have and those who don't.
Thoughts on the current situation between North and South Korea?
The Korean people have always wanted reunification, the US has prevented that through our economic and diplomatic authority. Trump is not to get credit because he has done nothing different than any other president has with NK. What is different is that the South Korean people kicked out their capitalist american puppet president and intentionally elected someone who would fight for re-unification.
Thoughts China in terms of politics and industry?
It's great but not perfect, many governments (maybe all?) are having a hard time adapting to the rapidly changing world we now live in, China is doing better than most.
Favorite political figure/spokesman?
Ajamu Baraka
Pros and cons on Trump so far?
Con: Everything
Pro: got lucky and may be involved in uniting the Korean peninsula, HRC would have never allowed that.
Pro: Not HRC
Pro: has created a butterfly effect in which people are learning to recognize and educate themselves on fascism, late-capitalism, and authoritarianism
Do you deal in stocks, and if no, would it be a market of your taste? If you think negatively about the stock market, why so?
I don't deal in stocks, I would like to, specifically technology. I think very negatively of the stock market because it's where a huge portion of money is made by the 1% and its essentially a gambling system for the super rich, i'm not against participating in some aspects of it because I don't believe there is any ethical consumption under capitalism, which means you just have to do your best and try not to support things that kill people for profit.
Do you speak more than one language? If yes, which besides English?
I do not, I'm heavily dyslexic so I never even learned Hebrew for my bah mitzvah or w/e its called.
Capitalism is historically proven to be one of the most succesful constructs in society, but it's not flawless. What would you change?
I totally refute this idea, you do not need capitalism to create these things. Capitalism creating these things is not valid proof that other economic systems cannot. The american military industrial complex is responsible for over 20 million deaths since WW2. This is not success.
Most retorts to this idea bash communism by quoting propaganda that flows down from the 1% into our media, and entertainers, and education system. These things are statistically false and hard to believe once you set upon the path of actually educating yourself about Communism.
What is your take on A.I and Musk's idea of a "universal basic income"?
A.I. is inevitable, and its good if we don't fuck it up. We'll probably fuck it up.
Universal basic income is an idea based in reform, I do not believe reform can work under capitalism, I do believe you need to improve peoples daily lives in whatever way you can, that being said you would not need UBI if the working class owned the means of production, UBI runs the risk of further enslaving the population to the oligarchs.
Many concerns are raised regarding general intelligence in A.I, and it's estimated to be a reality within 50-200 years (rough estimate, hard to predict). What are your primary concerns on the matter?
My primary concern is that Billionaires have always and will always do what keeps them in power, this will mean A.I. will be used against the working class as a tool of the oppressors, in order to avoid this we must take the proper steps as a society before we reach this point.
If we reach this point without being completely enslaved I think we will see humans begin to transcend biology by merging with their technology and we could reach the stars as a united species, I don't think we can reach the stars if we do not unite as a species and given that the upper and lower classes are irreconcilable and the state functions as a tool of the ruling class...well my guess is readers can read between those lines.
Who is your favorite historic poet, and who is your favorite modern poet?
Percy Shelley. My favorite modern poet is Kendrick Lamar or XXXTentacion.
What is your favorite poem?
Ozymandias, was a fan before breaking bad was a thing. Coincidentally my twins favorite Poem as well.
What psychological point of view do you find the most interesting? (cognitive, behavioral, freudian etc.)
Psycho-analytics is something I've always had a knack for, also behavioral observation and body language tend to be things I can interpret like 2nd nature, it has gotten me out of many bad situations, and into many good ones.
Would you consider yourself an expert in reading people face-to-face?
Yes, I do not forget faces and I've got an intuitive eye for micro-expression.
Have you ever caught yourself to be too analytical in human approach?
Yes, a perfect example when this whole thing went down a few months back with the website getting hijacked, I had convinced myself I could trust someone I shouldn't have because I thought he needed me more than him, and that we both prioritized the community for the most part. This was wrong, people do not always act logical, and we got burnt because of my nativity. That being said, this person got the shit end of the stick for their behavior.
Thoughts on the effect anonymity has on people online, as well as living in a vast, dense population?
I think it is absolutely vital to be able to hide your Identity in a world that is becoming more authoritarian by the day. Both culturally authoritarian, and by the state.
Do you see yourself as a nationalist, or an internationalist?
I believe in one internationally centralized economy controlled by a dictatorship of the Proletariat (working class (and middle class as soon as they realize they're the lower class too) I do not believe borders do anyone any favors besides the super rich
Favorite non-fiction book?
Revolution and The State by Vladimir Lenin and The Singularity is near by Ray Kurzweil
Favorite literature?
A Song of Ice and Fire and The Wheel of Time
Favorite author?
George R.R. Martin
What's your take on Cannabis being banned in a lot of places, and categorized as a harmful, and/or 'gateway' drug, versus other substances, as alcohol and cigarettes being vastly, easily and legally obtainable?
Capitalism has a funny way of doing things that don't make sense while making people think it makes sense.
Thoughts on Norwegian research in psychadelics for psychological treatment and experimentation? Mainly on the topics of schizophrenia and anxiety disorders.
This is ground breaking stuff that must be further examined. From what I've heard there are a great many friends of mine that could some day benefit from this research especially in the PTSD area.
I know I have made a great deal of self-progress and have had life changing experiences before through some unorthodox means of self-help, confirmation bias aside I would say it is legit and important.

Oh and most importantly at the age of 23 I started educating myself in the struggles of the working class, since a young boy I wanted to help people but on a grand scale, my education on this topic is what gives me true purpose.
That being said I think motivation is nothing more than a literary tool that people put to much thought into, just do it.

When I was younger I was severely depressed from about the age of 7-22 and my life was a nightmarish chaos, I never knew If I would live till 18. Around the age of 15 I started to work on self help things when I had the energy - like mindfulness meditation, and told myself If I made it to 18 I would do something with my life. 18-21 were bad times for me as well as my friends started dying from drugs and I was getting deeper into a culture I shouldn't have allowed myself to become a part of, so I told myself if I made it to 21 then I would really do something with my life. around the age of 20 I started dabbling in philosophy at 22 I started using Hallucinogens for spiritual experiences and all this culminated in my having strong self-actualizing experiences that changed my life and filled me with a fire I am honestly a slave too. Along with this an aiming to be content and seeing happiness for what it is - a fleeting emotion, keeps me happy and positive a great deal of the time.
Oh and most importantly at the age of 23 I started educating myself in the struggles of the working class, since a young boy I wanted to help people but on a grand scale, my education on this topic is what gives me true purpose.
That being said I think motivation is nothing more than a literary tool that people put to much thought into, just do it.

I actually hand-picked these questions because I know we're on the exact opposite sides of the spectrum (on a lot of things, but not everything). I always love to get as many inputs as possible from people who think differently from me. Especially if they're not afraid to form an opinion. Hope it made you think.

I think this is a common mistake, ideologies don't kill people. People kill people, ideologies are just ideas enacted by flawed humans so I think you're asking a fundamentally flawed question here.
If you were to ask, why do I think socialism is a preferable alternative to capitalism, it is because the working class (99%) receive the full extent of the value for their labor.
Ethically speaking I believe life should be able to be enjoyed to the fullest extent by everyone, life is a rare thing, for all we know it only comes once, so the worst crime against existence one can commit is to lessen another persons life.
Again this is (I believe) the wrong question. Perhaps back in the 1900s this question would have some legitimacy but the reality is we live in a post-scarcity era, there is enough to go around a astronomically small percentage of the population is preventing those resources from actually going around.

Also for the record I do not identify as a communist or a socialist, I don't believe I've educated myself enough to properly identify under a specific ideology and perhaps I never will. I just know that it stands for the good of the people and that is something that I can specifically endorse. I think often times all this talk of ideology gets in the way of being human and feeling like we're all apart of the same species, which is the most important thing.
