My Dodge Charger SRT8 is a good example of how I prefer American muscle to import tuners

• Cars: I like loud, burbling, boxy, American cars, not quiet, sleek, farting imports
• Design: I prefer spontaneous texture in design, not immaculate anti-art of modernist design
• Truth: Science, technology, and logic bore me; we’d all do better to learn more about history and ourselves
• Aging: Advertising glorifies youth when I believe getting older is the best thing that can happen
• Outlook: The West approaches things as incomplete and problematic, as a place to interfere, when I believe the world has always been complete and perfect
• Nature: Animals are greater than man; man will never be able to fully control or understand nature consciously; science has a sort of pathological basis with its obsession of control
• Good vs. Evil: Villains always registered with me as infinitely more interesting compared to their antagonizing heroes; stories with unhappy endings tend to have more meaning than “happy” ones
• Films: I think new feature films are for the most part boring, predictable constructs and formulas of the commercial culture industry, without any semblance of art or reference to truth to the world in which we live
• Women: Brunettes > blondes; curvy > skinny; mature > young; hair > shaved
• Stories: In a sense, I don’t believe in stories and narratives, but prefer the on-going discovery and creation of meaning to solitary, linear accounts

That’s me in a nutshell.
