I am Storm, I am interested in working alongside fellow objectivists, and rational thinkers. I would call myself a libertarian, and a humanist.

I am presently focused on combat, but plan to put forth time into industrial pursuits, i.e. construction.

Not to be a dick but... Big or little "O"?

I would call myself a libertarian, and a humanist.

What is a "libertarian" to you and how is "humanist" different?

Are your violent skills working against your beliefs? Is there a way you can leverage the violence-based skills you have in-game in a way that you could profit AND help those around you? If yes, why switch to Indy?

Little o. Worshipping any system of thought is dangerous. I think it creates a mental block that prevents one from viewing it objectively, which is the whole point after all. Also, the humanist portion of being libertarian serves as a method of identifying myself as one who does not define libertarian as "Screw everyone else, I'm going to do whatever I want with no regard for others." I want to be able to choose my own path, but I will still consider the basic rights of others. I define libertarian as: The freedom to do what I want, when I want, so long as it does not interfere with others ability to do the same.

I chose combat skills primarily because I would prefer to be able to defend myself. I will not be the aggressor, but will defend myself with everything that I have. I have considered going into industry for ISK generation, but may stick with soldiering for the time being. Note: I have no issue with seeking out and destroying those who feed on others.
