CURRENT MISSION

Reinvent the world according to Arthur Schopenhauer's bones!

ABOUT ME

It's really a daunting task to try to filter through all the facts about myself and decide which ones I should include here, and which ones I shouldn't. Well, I used to be a lot more ambitious than I am now, although I still do aspire to a number of really interesting stuffs. I love to translate poetry and play poker. I'm a proud member of the NRA, and I find that living long-term in developing countries is a much more valuable (in many respects) experience than living long-term in Europe. I used to be a polyglot but now I only know a handful of languages. I wish I had learned German before my brain stopped working.
