This is my first forum. This is my first post. How 'bout that? I finally found a forum which I'm motivated to join.
My name is Ben, I'm a late bloomer (both in my atheism and my changing "life trajectory") twenty-something (almost thirty-something) y.o. student, musician, compassionista, animal- and human-life loving, complicated, nomadic person. I love all kinds of stuff: from metal, punk and hip hop music to science documentaries to animals to political science; philosophy, sociology, cosmology/astronomy and physics are fascinating subjects as well.
It's really gratifying to find a good, positive forum which discusses topics and ideas that are relevant and important. Glad to be here.
