A scripter, programmer and web developer, Ed rejects the insanity that is the social norm and instead concentrates on sensible people, their views and his projects. This has lead many to the belief that Ed is antisocial, although this is a misconception; it is simply that many people are antisocial towards him. Fortunately, he finally has a life and some friends, thus his social capacity has not diminished to that of a JavaScript form validator.
Ed believes in a mixture of activity and laziness; he believes that you should do what the hell you like, but it's probably a good idea to have some awesome projects and a means of recording one's knowledge to organise one's mind.
As you can see, he believes that you should speak in any manor that you wish; if you like to swear, use the pronoun 'one' or use long words, so be it; these are all useful means of expression.
He does not believe that any thought is a crime, unlike most of the population, who like to persecute others for just this.
He despises self-delusion and acknowledges the damage that it can do to people.
He believes that most people are in far worse mental health states than they could be if society wasn't so rejecting and harrassing to anyone who seems slightly different or has some problem, not to say that difference is a problem.
He endorses beneficial eccentricities and sees them as rebellion from the insanity that has become the social norm.
He admires the wonders that have been achieved by means of collaborative authoring, and points you towards the wikimedia foundation for a prime example of this.
He is a realist and believes that inducing thoughts and beliefs that one would not naturally think is both highly unlikely to be successful, dangerous and a form of procastrination.
Finally and most importantly, he is a hedonist; this means that he believes that both the happiness of one's self and that of others are sensible aims and that ridgid morals hinder this, therefore are iniquitous.
