My Worldview
In this section I present my worldview, I document my thoughts and
reactions to certain political and social developments, but mostly, in
a completely non-chronological order, I offer my view on certain things
that have affected the world and I analyse the reasons things happened
the way they did.
By writing this, ultimately, my goal is to arrive at the point that
presents my view of what our world has become, but also share my
thoughts on what our world should be.
This work is incomplete (can it be ever..?), it is in a state of
constant development as I add pieces to it as I find time to do so. Do
not expect this section to be finished any time soon. Also, I
constantly modify the list by adding or deleting sections as my
worldview develops, so this document may eventually look completely
different from what it was when I started it..
Before I start, as in a preamble, I must summarise my worldview for the
readers that treasure their time and feel that they do not need to
waste any minute to read some guy's verbal diarrhea, placed on the
Internet with the only purpose so others can waste their time.
My fundamental stance in life
is built on the foundation of merit. The
term "meritocracy" has been historically perverted by people, castrated
if you wish; somehow people had managed to limit the term's application
to the academics world only. In this page, I use the term meritocracy
to its full potential, by applying it universally to all things and all
spheres of life. I fully reject the motion of the democracy being a
good idea, especially the hypocritically crooked version that dominates
the world politics today. I disagree with the assumption that the mere
fact of the majority supporting particular view justifies it. I do put
the value of the individual above all other values - and that by
definition makes me reject all forms of religion, chauvinism,
patriotism, nationalism, unionism or partisanship.
I would like to structure the presentation of my worldview in a form of
a two column list, in a similar way the great Salvador Dali has done
and as it is displayed in the permanent exhibition of his work in
London. Just to get some shape, I am going to form the list into sort
of an index, hyper linking each word with its corresponding section
that expands to its full.
Let's see if it is going to work well..

So, here I am, a supporter of the meritocracy, rebellion against all
forms of force and coercion, appreciator of the human mind and female
beauty, the
aesthete, the gastronome, the geek of note, the speed freak, taking an
easy trip to reflect on the world and the reasons we are..
