One of the most interesting transformations I’ve seen in Adam. Someone who has experience and devoted himself to multiple systems of thought. And who advocates a very egalitarian world. Yet his emerging work is an elegant synthesis of scientific language and philosophy.
Skye is also interesting because he can empathize with a host of philosophical frameworks the way most of us can empathize with different genres of literature. Although, I am still stuck with that negativa other than subjective intuition that philosophical aesthetes rely upon.
Bierling consistently astounds me, and he seems to seek to strike the balance between mores and truth, and can conduct most arguments easily despite rather recent work. he has a public persona that’s genuine, insightful, and frankly, marketable. I feel very emotionally close to him because I have very similar moral sentiments.
Josh Jeppeson is intersesting because he already bridged science and the aesthetic occult in his own life (which seems to be a common combination that I run across), and he, like many nietzcheans, feels the occult, and judges scientifically, and there is something fascinating in that positiva/negativa combination. I have learned a great deal from his criticism and some of my more recent insights are the result of trying to answer him.
Berens is interesting in that he is so frighteningly good at constructing propertarian arguments that i am often humbled – he gives me something to aspire to. This is a very talented guy and I haven’t seen any of his development so I can’t comment on his transition.
Ziavalov is much closer to my perspective, in that he is pretty rigidly scientific (something the russians have been excellent at developing at scale). I notice that our differences derive from my america distaste for conflict, and while I know nothing about him, his name suggests russian origin or influence. And he has that attitude toward conflict: ‘it is what it is, grow up’.
I’ve long considered Eli and I partners even though we really just riff off each other. Eli takes a more ‘working class man’s view’ of things which i am sure he considers a compliment. But if you are an average person and want to learn Propertariaism (to which he is a major contributor), the price is time with Eli, and a few beers.
I consider Butch a partner as well, and an advisor and he is better at explaining my position on many subjects than I am – those that relate to libertarian positions especially.
I see Bill rapidly fulfilling this role as well, but against more philosophical and argumentative positions. Where James Berens would (like me) stomp on you, Bill tries to educate you.
We have a lot of advocates … some of whom are dear friends to me, but who aren’t terribly interested in the formal work. That said that list is too long to include here.
