Fundamentals about me
I use this platform to share my opinions that otherwise could be obstacle to my career and social goals.
I feel propelled to share my opinions after seeing many senseless and popular ideas being shared around the world. I’m a millennial in my early 20s, looking to make a career in business world in next 10–15 years. My expertise is on science specifically on biotechnology. I also follow politics and economics closely as I’m more interested in the executive side of the field.
I’m chasing the dream here in America but I was born and raised in Turkey. Coming straight out of the heartland of Asia Minor, I believe my politics offer a more humanitarian view that is often neglected in US and the mainstream media. I see myself as an independent, a progressive, on today’s political issues, however, I would probably identify as a conservative among a group of liberal millennials.
You see I’m a mix bag, just like you. I am imperfect. I am trying to improve and I see the light. I love God’s creations because of God himself. I believe in God’s justice that pushed me to this platform to write about my thoughts and swing my stick to grace you with fertility. And I shall do so.
I believe in today’s world that is economically and socially the most competitive it’s important to tell the truth and call on people who misrepresented their description of duty. It can be a politician, a scientist, an institution for human lives that is lying in today’s world thanks to the corrupting influence of the money. Scientists who are so sure of their positions when guess lecturing my university class, surely are one of the more dramatic evidences for corruption of money as these people were expected to adhere by the facts. Their assuredness comes from their conviction of themselves on how their years of hard work will not go by unpaid and that they will be hired by biotech companies if they scavenge enough, distort the evidence for themselves and all in a while do it in the name of science that is the fact of the nature.
In this medium I will provide no room for empathy. I have developed a great sense of empathy in recent years. As a guy growing up, I’d goof around and not value it. As I became a man and started to differentiate people in my life such as women I have grown a great deal of empathy which often hurts any attempts to get a desired outcome on an issue by influencing someone who frankly doesn’t appreciate being influenced or called on. I divided the women as my mom, Aphrodite, and others as my attempts to be super nice to them yielded to worse results of social circle and overall happiness compared to my peers. And I realized that I’m just a pawn in the system. As Rumi said “Yesterday I was young, I wanted to change the world, today I’m wise, I want to change myself.” And I fear, the main reason I have empathy may be because ultimately I realized that it is beneficial to project myself as an empathizer. As someone who believes Emmanuel Kant’s mission code that is doing something not because it will benefit you, but for the sake of it, I cannot let empathy leak through my lines and therefore I will be the true predator, competitor, Anatolian that God intended me to be refraining from the show off of non-digital, non-anon world. I will be as true, as scorching as that moment in the teenager’s dreams of their neighbour’s wife. As raw and pungent as the spicy odor of some cooked Asian wild grass. As heavy as the breath my 300 pounds body inhales in the last 5 minute sprint of my hourly everyday gym routine.
I’m me with all my complications and biases with my coolness and grossness, and perfect imperfections. I find the world and people around me incredibly shallow, distant and insecure. I don’t hope to be verified, applauded or adored. As an old Turkish idiom goes: ‘I just hope to be remembered as a nice voice that is echoed under this ever-existing blue dome.’
P.S. I DO have a math olympics medal and my mom IS an Aphrodisian.
