MY BELIEFS

Nations and borders are made by humans, with contingent and often arbitrary origins. They are temporary, and could have been otherwise. Many borders have changed across history. Empires have collapsed. Humanity, however, is real. For we share our genetic makeup with all humans
Since we cannot be absolutely certain of any moral choice, persecuting someone for it is always unwarranted. Hence, the supreme value of allowing a whole range of conceptions of the good in a given society.
Our desires prevent us from learning the facts and discovering the truths in the world and our place in it. Hence, when embarking upon any inquiry, we should push aside desires, use reason and look solely for evidence.
Environmental degradation & climate change are devastating for all of us, especially the poorest & most vulnerable.So we must take a stand for our lives, indeed for all forms of lives,for next generations & for the planet.It's the ultimate fight;the one we cannot afford to lose.
