Philosophy
Slater was a self-professed conservative who opposed drugs, promiscuity, and love magick. He criticised witches and pagans who indulged in drugs and sex magick. His blunt opinions made him unpopular. Despite his outward appearances/persona, he did not practice what he preached. Slater was known for keeping many lovers outside of his relationship with Buczynski.

Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:
“And truly Philosophy is but sophisticated poetry. Whence do those ancient writers derive all their authority but from the poets?”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The proper method of philosophy consists in clearly conceiving the insoluble problems in all their insolubility and then in simply contemplating them, fixedly and tirelessly, year after year, without any hope, patiently waiting.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Philosophy can be compared to some powders that are so corrosive that, after they have eaten away the infected flesh of a wound, they then devour the living flesh, rot the bones, and penetrate to the very marrow. Philosophy at first refutes errors. But if it is not stopped at this point, it goes on to attack truths. And when it is left on its own, it goes so far that it no longer knows where it is and can find no stopping place.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
