There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root, and it may be that he who bestows the largest amount of time and money on the needy is doing the most by his mode of life to produce that misery which he strives in vain to relieve.

— Henry David Thoreau, Walden, Economy p. 70

Bias?

I try to write from a neutral point of view, I however have strong views on certain ethical questions. I am a:

• negative atheist, empirical agnostic, and physicalist;
• secular humanist;
• Green party voter;
• vegan;
• minimal car user; and
• childfree: "No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.".

If these positions make my writing biased, either because I'm not noticing my bias or overcompensating, please tell me.
