Yep, I agree completely.

...you've called me a degenerate and even made an entire post calling me out and saying that society shouldn't tolerate me talking about the way I live my life, but when you agree, you agree.

Honestly I think I'd even word this argument more strongly. I'd say: fundamentally, we as human beings are minds, piloting barely-functional suits of meat. Minds are all that we really are. If you form your opinions about the world based on some collective tribal wisdom, rather than with the use of your own mind, you barely deserve to be called human anymore.

People should always think in terms of "what do I perceive, what are my values, what are my conclusions" rather than "as an X, I believe." Partisanship is abhorrent to me.
