About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wish to learn about the evolution of our societies, that which I believe is the future language for all human beings. It's funny; without the State and with free air-travel, our human world would be consumed with the forces of nature, the ensuing sustai

ABOUT ME

"If the world was imperfect, there would be no need for art; the artist is the sacrifice for the world." - Andrei Tarkovsky

"As for me, all I know is that I know nothing..." - Socrates

"The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it." -Jean-Paul Sartre, writer and philosopher (1905-1980)

"Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves." -Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the US (1809-1865)

"Without a job, purpose is a need; with a job, entertainment is a need; success left to find something else." - me

PHILOSOPHY

As gods, I would consider you an equal god, but then again, I don't believe in gods. I believe in the connectivity between people, the interstices that ebb and flow, wittingly and unwittingly. I imagine it is this rapport that is so crucial to our sense of progress and our sense of sacrifice as a species.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived out of a van while working on a major Hollywood-movie. I went to a meditation retreat that required no talking or connection with the out-side world for ten consecutive days. I made a short-film as homework for a class. I drove through Spain as though I was in America. I've taken trains and buses and planes alone, on a whim, and in the hopes of meeting interesting and intelligent people.
