ABOUT ME

I'm interested in intercultural encounter including questions of language. I want to know how people live in other countries and I appreciate their personal narrations as the more important source of information than mass media.

I love to use my brain, I love to switch off my brain after awhile, I love to have walks in nature, I very often go by bike, also in winter, ...

I recently found out that these are important values for me (in alphabetical order): acceptance, apreciation, aesthetics, autonomy, compassion, creativity, confidence, curiosity, solidarity, fairness, flat hierarchy (or better non-hierarchy vs. dominance), honesty, humour, integrity, obligation, self-sufficiency, peace, pleasure.

I explain the world to me from a sociological perspective.

I feel the urgent need to fight against group focused enmity (which is for instance sexism, ableism, racism, antisemitism, facsism, ...) but rather fighting against something i prefer to vouch for something.

PHILOSOPHY

all genders and all nations are hallucinations. dancing is the best mind-altering technique.
