I decided to join RationalWiki because I've always had an interest in good epistemology and rational thinking, so I wanted to contribute an excellent resource for it. The username I chose was meant to reflect that - I'm a skeptic and I'm being intrepid by contributing to the project. Critical thinking is sorely lacking in the world today (hence why so much misinformation and disinformation floats around) and, in some small way, I want to contribute to the fight to promote it.

Politically, I consider myself a libertarian socialist but pragmatic enough to participate in the State as is. I quite like Vaush but don't agree with him on everything and believe there are legitimate criticisms. While I'd like to see greater gun control measures (perhaps something like community armories), I also firmly believe that so long as right wing nutjobs are armed, left wingers and vulnerable minorities should be armed to the teeth to defend themselves.

Other than that, I'm anti-natalist (but recognize that it's a controversial position so my advocacy is basically limited to getting sterilized and donating to charities to educate girls), a consequentialist and have an interest in reading.
