Let’s Meet! A Self Proclaimed Philosopher From Turkey

Hello.

I'm one of the digital generation like you and I'm living in Turkey. Where the enlightenment era never happened. Yes it's a strange place. I will let you know how Turkey is later(1). But there's a picture from the streets of Istanbul:

I say there is no darkness but ignorance - Shakespeare

I’ve managed to graduate from the university 3 years ago studying social sciences. I used to be a believer, now I'm not. I'll to write about why I became an atheist (2). After some hardships and struggle, I’ve managed to land a job at the Ministry of Economy. Before getting too excited I'll let you know it’s not as cool as it sounds. Although well paid, my work is meaningless and distant from my life.

Some important thing happened 2 years ago, I started to read. I was always a researcher but when I left Facebook (3) I had too much time for researching. I think Wikipedia is the most precious thing sapiens ever created. I enjoyed reading almost about anything, from ancient greek history to decentralized technologies, from evolution to history of liberalism. People around me usually don’t bother with such things, they don’t ask me any questions.

I had two complaints:

1- Not enough people are interested in what I have to say. But I have to say it.
2- Knowledge and research ain’t worth any money.

So I'm here. After a few of my own writings I’ll share articles and videos of the intellectuals I’ll mention (4). These subjects will be depressing because dear reader, we are in a time of crisis. Everything looks fine but they aren't. It looks like Steem is a happy and excited place due to the presence of money but I have to go against the tide. I'll make you sad. I’ll be looking for hardhearted debates and confrontations. There are some intellectuals I was inspired by:

Science and Philosophy	Economics	History	Journalism/Politics
Noam Chomsky	Richard Wolff	Norman Finkelstein	Julian Assange
Richard Dawkins	Yanis Varoufakis	Donald Kagan	Ray McGovern
Richard Stallman	Paul Craig Roberts	Michael Jabara Carley	Rafael Correa
Hakim Bey	David Graeber	Paul Freedman	Tariq Ali
Janet Biehl			Finian Cunningham
J.K. Rowling			Miko Peled

I nailed the table

Aristotle was the pupil of Plato, which is one person. I’m sitting in front of a computer and listening to countless individuals. There's always so much to learn but it's also the right time to spread the information.

Here’s my photo to attract marriage proposals.

I will make researching sexy again.

(1) In one post, I’ll write about Turkey.
(2) In one post, I’ll tell why you shouldn’t believe in Islam(or any religion). I'll try to explore why religions still persist.
(3) In one post, I’ll explain why I quit Facebook and Google and I'll introduce Richard Stallman as a visionary.
(4) In general, I’ll share enlightening talks and writings of living intellectuals and lots of artistic material which provokes critical thought.

Edit: When I check the replies I can't help but feel "how many of them are bots?"
Even if not a bot, they must be mindless humanoids after money.
Long story short: greed took over steemit!
Check replies and tell me it's natural?
Edit2: Ok 50 dollars and counting. No marriage proposals though. Does that mean I'm smart but ugly?
