By on December 17, 2007 in MP Organization, Philosophy, Video

About David Askaripour

I've been thinking about life, existence, and truth for as long as I could remember. When I was about 7 I remember getting a headache trying to figure out who created God...and if someone created him, then who create him? I love investigating and testing, taking nothing for truth that outside my direct experience. At the age of 12, I started my own candy selling business; it grew so large that the principal ended up closing me down (but that was just the beginning...) Through my videos and articles, I share my journey with the world.

    Well said David! It reminds me of a quote from General Patton: ” if everybody thinks alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.”
