CURRENT MISSION

Travel until I start a new job in NYC.

ABOUT ME

I am indecisive.

PHILOSOPHY

"I now feel I know for certain that one is not really alive unless one spends, takes risks, and therefore has surprises, and that surprises and spending (freely rather than for profit, which is the only possible definition of communism) are not simply a part of all life but constitute the ultimate truth of life itself, in its Ereignis, its surging forth, its very happening, as Heidegger has argued so well." - Louis Althusser

"FOR bigger pies and and shorter hours and AGAINST more or less everything else." - DD
