User:Several ingredients
I am a reality-based editor. My philosophical basis is naturalism primarily, and this leads to associations with other things, such as secular humanism. I find this wiki attractive because of its advocacy of free speech and rationality. So that those who disagree with the prevailing liberal attitude can at least have their voices heard. Well, as long as this site is running, we may need some of those "Please read, a personal appeal from RationalWiki founder..." if not enough donations come in.
Political concepts
I consider myself to be a social democrat. I believe that the government should exercise its power for the people, and not the private companies that serve themselves. Democracy is the "least bad" system of government that is fit to be implemented. It is the closest system to achieving the "every country gets the government it deserves" idea. One incredibly corny way of saying why I'm on the left side of the political spectrum is because the left is where the heart beats, so we should think with our hearts!
CleverBot[2] tells me that what "conservative" really means: CleverBot: [I am conservative],because it's a cover word for people with a lack of social conscience.
Science and human progress
I think scientific research into stem cells is under funded. I also agree that the best way to beat poverty is to empower women as equals, and give them control over their birth cycles. Christopher Hitchens sums it up beautifully, [3]
