About

My name is Yomi Kuroda, and I'm a scholar by nature and by occupation.

I have a Ph.D in Transhumanistic Sociopsychology, Masters degrees in Textual Hermeneutics and Fundamental Exegesis, and I have Baccalaureate degrees in Artistic Psychology and Experimental Theology.

(I'm so advanced: none of those existed up until now!)

But in all seriousness, I'm an extremely nice person. I'm a strict pacifist, which means that I don't think violence in any form is the answer to a problem. This means, of course, that I oppose all war.

I'm big on civil rights. I think freedoms of the press, speech, assembly, religion, and privacy are paramount to the creative growth of humanity.

I'm a secular humanist, which means the following:

  • Logic and rational thinking are the most powerful tools we have to decide what is good or bad in any situation.

  • Magic, psychic powers, clairvoyance, deities, and all other mythological powers are extremely creative stories, but should not affect how we live our lives.

  • Reality is that which can be consistently tested with the scientific method. This means that to grow, we have to give up some superstitions that may be comforting.

  • All people on this Earth have the right to be creative, useful, happy, secure, free, and understand themselves.

    I believe that sex does not deserve the taboo it's been under for so many centuries. Sex is another form of creativity, and it should be enjoyed.

    I agree mostly with Marxist views on capitalism. I don't mind capitalism, but when it's the only means of production, it forces people to become commodity fetishists: only after what they can own. But it's not about owning! It's about being. Life is more than what you own.

    I love offbeat humour. (I also spell things as if I was in the United Kingdom, but I'm really not.) Understated, black, and satirical humour are some of my personal favorites.

    I generally love everyone. I don't have any enemies; some people are good acquaintances; my friends, however, I'm very loyal to. If I have one weakness, I'm too soft. I have this delusion of optimism for humanity. It doesn't always come to fruition, but it's a heck of a lot healthier than expecting the worst all the time.

    [Fast fact: Optimists have lower levels of mental illness than pessimists.]

    I'm not elitist, and I love hearing anyone's viewpoints. Even if I don't agree with you, I still like hearing what you have to say.

    Feel free to contact me on my AIM if you would like to talk. I'm really a funny and goodhearted fellow. (I think.)
