Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Making the world a better place.
ABOUT ME
I'm a social activist, former administrator of local timebank, organizing meetings and spreading knowledge about positive possibilities for social concern.
I try to get along with people who do the same. Money is not important, people and well-being are.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is just a ride, it has shills ant thrills, it goes up and down, round and round. It's fun for a while but then it ends. It's just a ride!
Problems cannot be solved with the same way of thinking, as when creating them.
A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.
There is no need to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I try to learn from every person I meet, while teaching some great things I have in my mind.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted many friends and visitors.
Interests
Searching for knowledge is my priority, organizing and participating in grassroots actions are my favourite things to do. There are so many great possibilities on organizing our society as a whole, the problem is, that most people have no idea about them.
- books
- education
- modeling
- technology
- teaching
Music, Movies, and Books
Documetary movies are my thing, I listen to all kinds of music, I mostly read writings from a screen.
Some good movies: Fight Club
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the hilights was organizing a movie screening, where we got over 200 participants only with online and street advertising. The lesson was: money is not the key, engaging with people and producing attractive visual material added with a good message can make a difference.
One of the biggest changes in my life was changing my train of thought from individuality to unity. We all are in one planet, the only difference between us is one's reality tunnel.
Teach, Learn, Share
This is my favourite thing! I know a lot of ways of organizing a society, how to be happy and not get distracted too easily. My BS-filter is pretty fine-tuned, and understanding people's actions are my speciality.
We are one species, let's get along. Big problems can be made small, and small ones can be forgotten. At this stage of technology we could produce abundance for everyone, which cannot be accomplished in a scarcity-driven capitalist social model.
Something to look at:
Society: Reseurce-based economy, Commons, Gift economy, Solidarity economy
Education: Khan Academy, Udemy, Coursera
And the most important skill we people have is communication, it's really easy to solve conflicts with Non-Violent Communication!
