I chose the moniker “Friendly Contrarian” because I’m a naturally argumentative person, but I don’t get angry about it. If I am in a discussion with someone, and they express bullshit, I will call them on it. I will use citations if available, and do my best to make a case for why their position is bullshit. I’m a skeptic, an atheist, and a reader of varied subjects. I am by no means an expert in anything, but before going off on something, I will do my best to educate myself about it.
That said, should I acquire any readers and they choose to call me on my bullshit, I’ll be glad to revise my opinion should their evidence hold up.
In the mean time, I will be posting things that interest me. This will vary in subject from movie reviews, to links to points of comment on the web, to short opinion pieces. If this blog takes on a particular theme I may move solidly in that direction, but it will most likely never be entirely focused on a single subject. I have too many interests, and my attention will always waver.
I intend to keep this blog anonymous. This does not mean I’m hiding, or famous, or even all that interesting as a person. I just want this place to be about the ideas more than the person. We’ll see how that works out.
