What is your Ambition?

Postby Czechanada » Tue Dec 09, 2014 11:39 am

Long has ambition driven human existence. The various accomplishments like exploration, invention, humanitarianism, and other advancements of our ancestors were propelled by their dreams to steal the fire and bite the apple of the gods. NSG, what do you wish to achieve in life? What is your defining purpose? Is the annals of history or the fridge of your kitchen the intended destination of your ambition?

Personally, I wish to pursue a Phd and enter the realm of academia as a professor. That is my prime ambition in life.

Not too sure yet. I'm close to getting my first (and maybe second!) publication though, and I've absolutely loved working on the two projects. I think academia might be right for me too.
  • No, I'm not Korean. I'm British and as white as the Queen's buttocks.
  • Bio: I'm a PhD student in Statistics. Interested in all sorts of things. Currently getting into statistical signal processing for brain imaging. Currently co-authoring a paper on labour market dynamics, hopefully branching off into a test of the Markov property for labour market transition rates.

I'm getting my first publication next year, and I hope to have another article ready for publication as well. :hug:

I want to go to College and join Navy ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps), choose the Marine option, and become an officer in the United States Marine Corps.

Just because my political views are of a left-leaning College State doesn't mean I don't like to make money :p

I want to achieve happiness.

Happiness in all shapes and forms.

This includes, but is certainly not limited to:

- A fantastic woman that loves me for all that I am, and for whom I return the feeling. So that we may travel down the path of life together, exploring, learning and discovering all the exciting things this world has to offer in terms of science, art, nature and the human emotions.

Of all my school ex-colleagues, I'm the only one who didn't finish school, who never had a job and who never voted.

I think I need to stop being a lagged loser in the first place in order to start to have real life objectives.
Pro: Communism/anarchism, Indigenous rights, MOGAI stuff, bodily autonomy, disability rights, environmentalism
Meh: Animal rights, non-harmful religion/superstition, militant atheism, left-leaning reform of capitalism
Anti: Dyadic superstructure (sex-gender birth designation and hierarchy), positivism, conservatism, imperialism, Zionism, Orientalism, fascism, religious right, bending to reactionary concerns before freedom/common concern, fraudulent beliefs and ideologies

Formerly "Hetalian Indie Rio de Janeiro".

Compass: -10.00, -9.13
S-E Ideology: Demc. Socialist (92% ditto/Marxist, 75% Anarchist/Social democrat, 0% etc)
S-E school of thought: Communist (100% ditto, 96% Post-Keynesian)

Though this says I'm a social democrat, I'm largely a left communist.

Ideally I'd get into a career involving creative writing. If all else fails I'll probably end up signing to be an apparatchik for the Labour Party or possibly even dive into the world of professional videogaming.
