God doesn't exist (though there is a tiny, tiny chance there's some higher power that doesn't intervene, because the human intelligence gap is unreasonably huge, making humans undeniably special)

Every organized religion is a cult

Free will is an illusion

Aliens most likely exist, given the insane size of the universe and we know life can exist here

Humans will still always give in to their brutal tribal instincts and that's why the world is how it is

I believe I'd like another drink.

I believe the pen in front of me exists.

That coffee cup is suspicious though.

The power of friendship (I have no friends)

What is stopping you from having friends?

Myself I guess.

No one needs more than 500sqft of living space per capital until poverty is eradicated

War is absurd and the consequence of greed and senile, old, fucked up and immoral men

Democracy doesn't work without a limit on speech - specifically hate speech, authoritarianism, and ethnic superiority ideology

Fascism is the greatest concern of the western world right now

Genocide deserves instant disavowal and should convince any sane person to immediately support removing any government official or politician from office who doesn't oppose it

Black Lives Matter, and American history has treated black Americans awfully (see prison industrial complex)

Housing isn't an investment vehicle. Tax speculative purchasing of housing. Support government building high density housing like the HBD system in Singapore or Austria's housing system

The world is made of magic, it just differentiated into so many forms, that one of them is science and that's what many people believe is all there is.

I feel in the mood to explain more about this:

Similar to european school's history classes tend to be focused on european history (we call that "eurocentrism"), our worldview is focused on humans, i think that's called "anthropocentrism". While humans are important, it's not everything there is. There's also plants and other living beings, and in fact there's many more of them than of us. I try to consider that.

I'm calling the unity of all life "magic", i came up with that and it's supposed to be a play-on-words on the german word "Magen" (stomach) (representing that plants and animals are connected through an important relationship that is food). Also the stomach is the organ most physiologically/spatially central in the human body, in my opinion. So i imagine that everything's in the human is built around that "central" organ that is the stomach. That makes sense as the intake of food is the root of all animal existence, that enables animal's existence in the first place. Thus "everything is created from the stomach outwards", as supportive organs to help the stomach collect and digest food.

This is an interesting take.

I like to think of Science as magic, because it really is.

Ancient peoples played with "Alchemy," and modern chemistry is simply that. They would lose it if they knew we could "grow" diamonds, or that we have created an entirely new element.

Or that we’ve turned lead into gold, though not very cost-effectively to say the least.
