I imagine him to be a sort of laid back neo-hippy.
Though neo-hippies would perhaps prefer the designer shabby chic look, rather than the upcycled look.
I certainly don't see him doing the socks and sandals thing.

Nothing too good, just better than if I didnt help them.
Blasted YouTube not posting my comments, fine I'll stick this here then.
Executions and Slavery,
I think I put more emphasis on social infrastructure and technology for lessening much of societies worse impulses.
But I also think without positive interpersonal moral systems and culture, societies can go a bad way, even 'with social infrastructure and technology.
If people don't care to keep and maintain it, it falls apart and get's destroyed.
The first world isn't immune to corruption, selfishness, or power seekers.
Slavery is a diverse concept,
One can see a value in it, in older societies that warred with one another, does one execute POW or imprison them in servitude?
Course, then one has another 'reason to war and raid.
In the older world without as many established institutions and tracking methods such as banks, fingerprints, or photos.
One 'always has one's body and time for manual labor to trade,
Servitude for a period of time, rather than eternal.
Often slaves having various rights.
I recall reading of the Jubilee and various other slave laws in the Bible,
That would result in the freeing of slaves.
Though I think they were more applied to their fellow Hebrews, than slaves not of their people.
The worst forms of slavery though, such as chattel slavery, and systems where slaves have no rights.
Are harder to justify.

Joseph de Maistre,
I can find a bit on him online. Such as his comparison between a soldier and an executioner. He looks an interesting thinker.
Hobbesian, Coercion must come from the outside, dislike of the primitive man and the savage, doesn't seem to value science too highly, authority must be dark impenetrable and uncriticizable, I don't much care for an excerpt where he talks of torture, Still, his writings look fascinating.
It does seem hypocritical, of society to condemn the executioner or the torturer, yet acclaim the soldier.
Though either is 'ideally supposed to work justly.
The executioner on the guilty, the soldier on other soldiers.
But the soldier in history 'has often been a raider, a killer and slaver of civilians, burner of crops and infrastructures.
I recently read a book about William Marshal, a knight of England around the time of Richard the Lionheart.
Part of the book that talked about how often armies would pillage and burn villages to prevent the other side from using them was interesting. Hardly fitting the 'idea one has of chivalric knights.
But one often doesn't 'think of the dirty aspect of soldiers and warriors I suppose.
One see's the power, the glory, connects and takes pride in the 'idea of a person struggling and fighting for his people.
As one does with a football team.
While the executioner and the torturer has ugly nasty jobs we don't want to think about, are often ashamed about.
Course on another hand, I've heard people were often fond of attending public executions.
. . .
I can see the appeal of unquestioned value,
I am a Nihilist in a sense, when I look at morality, it all seems so arbitrary and subjective at times, what people value.
Anything one looks at, enough dissembling and I don't see the 'ought,
Only that 'if a person cares about that, logically he would care about this. And act in thus manner.
Still, cherry picker of the Bible I am,
Proverbs Four Seven, fourteen fifteen,
Timothy two seven,
Thessalonians five twenty-one,
Mathew seven fifteen,
The Bible frequently encourages people to think and be cautious of their faith.
Though admittedly other passages encourage faith more than reason.
. . .
Human Nature
Who can say what a 'natural human would do?
Given all humans are so formed by Nurture?
. . . Though I am defining Nature as genetics, rather than what one see's non humans doing in nature, the plants and animals.
I don't think it's 'all Nurture,
. . . Some animals have their nature, can't be domesticated, same with some humans, their genetics strongly push them on a path.
Mencius took the other idea of humans being innately good,
Stories such as the child falling down a well,
Or Ox Mountain.
Though I prefer his story on Ox Mountain,
The effects of nurture on people.
It rings the same with me as in White Fang by Jack London.
Throughout the book, one see's the effect of nurture.
The Parable of the Sower in the Bible,
Has long influenced me in thinking on how people are influenced by where they end up, what they interact with in life.
. . .
Closing thought,
I prefer the middle way, more than man is evil or man is good.
. . . The Bible I'd say focuses a lot on the fallibility of humans, which is not bad, it seems something good to be reminded of.
Remember you are a man, as a Roman slave might say.
But the Bible often spoke of the Hebrews for example, frequently being given so much by God, yet in action they frequently turned away,
Committed evil.
You have another song I enjoy about Absalom.
Even great individuals in the Bible such as David, chosen by God, were still human, flawed, committed evil, that often was self destructive.
Though, I'm not fond of claiming no fault or blame, as song I'm Only Human by Rag'n'Bone Man might say.
I can 'appreciate it, but I dislike focusing on what's out of my control,
And prefer being aware of what 'is in my control, what I 'could have done, what I 'might do in the future.
So you still came out ahead. Why complain?
Why complain?
Whats life if you cant complain all the time?
People like complaining because
it can be a way to feel a sense of connection with others, get emotional relief from pent-up stress, and gain validation or attention. Complaining can also be a coping mechanism for negative feelings or a way to avoid taking responsibility for problems by focusing on external factors.
Connection and relief.
That's sex Debs.
Whereas two sexually primed persons talking socio-psychological twaddle, is foreplay, either for both of them, or just for one of them.
The latter situation will just exacerbate the one's "pent up stress" and inevitably result in a post discussion private relief event.
The other, will return home and implement their own relief methodology.
"Blasted YouTube".
Wash your mouth out with soap and water Leaning.
But yes, they can be right blummers at times.
Especially when they put adverts in the middle of a piece of relaxing music.. And one is abruptly awoken by a pressure salesman trying to flog you the latest in NASA inspired room heaters the size of a matchbox, that can heat a room from 0 to a 1000 degrees in 10 seconds for just a penny...If such a thing existed, I would buy ten.
You are coming to different conclusions.
I have to plant plenty of trees to make up for all the trees cut down by my family. My family brought a curse upon themselves by cutting down trees, and sadly, that curse was passed down to me as their only offspring. Now I must respect nature a lot and plant as much trees as I can, so that Gaia doesnt punish me more. I hate the fact that my parents are complete opposite of me and dont give a damn about nature. they would truly ruin everything if it was up to them. So I have planted few dozen trees, tho my goal is to plant as much as can fit on my land to create a forest.
The phrase "
forest from the trees" (or more commonly, "can't see the forest for the trees") is an idiom meaning that someone is so focused on small details that they miss the bigger picture. For example, one might be too involved in the wording of a bill to see that it won't pass, or a person planning a party might focus on decorations without considering if there will be enough parking for guests.
They can always park around the corner.
Better to be sure that there is plenty of food and drinks.
Don’t worry. There will be plenty of food and drinks once the parking is solved.
If I'm intending to drink alcohol, I will get a bus or a taxi.
Though if I'm invited to a party I will eat my fill and then make my excuses and leave.
Fu*k the small talk.
You are the typical party pooper.
Not at all.
I will be stood in hallway quietly stuffing my face, and everyone else can ignore me and have riotous fun together.
Also cuts down on wasted food.
Better still, give me a doggy bag.
Your avatar says you are a cat. You are more than confused, you are delusional.
Fear not.
I will put some tuna sandwiches in the doggy bag for the cat.
Like me, my dog isn't fussy.
So you like tuna sandwiches. That’s normal.
Cheese and pickle is my favourite.
What type of cheese?
For a sandwich a decent cheddar would suffice. These days I tend to buy reduced fat for sandwiches and culinary uses.
Though cheese is one of those ambrosias, a bit like chocolate. Very easy to over indulge.
I am particularly fond of soft goats cheese, Stilton and similarly Shropshire blue.
And then there is Wensleydale infused with cranberries, a good brie, double Gloucester, red Leicester, crumbly Cheshire.
Though I draw the line at that Sardinian stuff infused with maggots...Or perhaps it's Corsican.
Canada produces and sells
over 1,050 varieties and brands of cheese. Including imports, the total number is even higher.
Canadian cheeses are classified into six main categories based on their moisture content:

Is that what that rubbery crap you put on poutine is, cheese?
For poutine, you need fresh, white cheddar cheese curds that have a "squeaky" texture. If you cannot find cheese curds, you can use chunks of hard mozzarella as a substitute, but avoid shredded cheese. The key is to use a cheese that won't completely melt, but will soften slightly from the hot gravy, providing a soft, melty contrast to the crispy fries.
Firm
Soft
Semi-soft
Fresh
Blue-veined
Hard
Hmmm, that sounds like the Big Bang Club.
Hmmmmm, I was thinking the same.
Yes Debs, sort of a Freudian slip there, or was it tongue in cheek.
Comparing Canadian cheeses with a therapists scale of erectile function.
And for sure blue veined and hard is what we prefer in between our crackers.
Though I would suggest that firm perhaps comes after semi-soft.
Fresh at the beginning.
And blue veined and hard comes later.
