About Quiet Musings

Welcome. I am Pete Koutoulas and this is my personal blog. You are reading this because I shared it with you, thinking you mind find something useful, amusing, or thought-provoking here. 

This project is a compilation of writing that I have completed over a few years, which I had scattered in various places. I’m in the process of pulling together the various pieces and organizing them, mainly for myself. For various reasons, I’ve decided to put them on a public blog. But I have no illusions about my musings being of interest to a broad audience — as I said, this project is mostly for myself.

I have varied interests, which are expressed in this blog. If you share some of these interests, you may find something here of interest. I am a science enthusiast, a Humanist, a skeptic of all things supernatural and unfounded in reason and evidence. My political stance leans decidedly left, but I am not primarily driven by ideology but by reason and evidence. So, I will often call out liberals as well as conservatives for ideas that I consider to be untrue, counter-productive, or hurtful.

I am no longer allowing comments. I didn’t start this to spend time moderating and arguing.
