Hello, my name is McKai Edgar. Thank you for checking out my profile.
I was born in Honolulu, HI. At which point I moved for the rest of my life. I've moved 18-20 times - honestly I stopped counting. I suppose I've experienced the gypsy way of life. For economic reasons I will not allow myself to settle down in any one locale.
I believe travel is fundamental to knowledge. You must walk where other people tread. You must walk where you don’t know the way. In short, you must walk alone to learn anything at all. People are ingrained with a ‘me-complex’ to the exclusion of other's having the exact same nature. So, travel. I’ve had the grace of traveling to Japan, S. Korea, Canada, Italy and Denmark. However the visits to the last two countries were woefully short and happened only once. I will be backpacking Europe in the future, no doubt. As for Japan, I’ve been there every other year for about 2-3 months at a time, but unfortunately not enough in the past few years. This is due to living on my own. I may be heading to London this winter - I’m excited at the prospect. However, while travel is useful - in the end you realize - that everything is the same. Thus one must withdraw.
Never is it how you do things, but why.
So, another form of travel that is completely necessary is reading. While you shouldn't believe everything you read, the very act of reading is one of practicing comprehension. You must form a construct in a step by step process thereby exercising your mind. You formulate your own opinion and eventually learn to become more critical of everything you read. In short, reading does make you smarter. Media for the masses is so complex and inviting; it is a narcotic. Stop watching television; it is nothing more than misinformation.
By nature I'm introspective, I hold to Individualism. And if you really want to learn of my nature's shaping; learn about Individualistic Anarchism. If however you wish to know where I draw my faith, you'll have to learn about Market Anarchy and Praxeology.
“Why am I an Anarchist?” I'll quote Voltairine de Cleyre:
I could very summarily answer with “because I cannot help it,” I cannot be dishonest with myself; the conditions of life press upon me; I must do something with my brain. I cannot be content to regard the world as a mere jumble of happenings for me to wander my way through, as I would through the mazes of a department store, with no other thought than getting through it and getting out.
