About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If I want to have a world view, I need to see the world.

ABOUT ME

Solution seeker, realistically optimistic, positive thinker, enterprising smartass, frequent smiler, humble yogi, tea drinker, delicious restaurant finder, ENTJ

Most people describe their experience the first time seeing me as long sequences of dream-like imagery. This has been translated into manifestations of demons and deities, geometrical patterns, tigers, birds and reptiles. They also experience sensations of flying.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to bridge the gap between who I am and who I want to be.

Interests

Red wine, dark chocolate, cheese, mountain biking, beach, electronic music, cappuccinos, nature, conspiracies

Every step of the way I was wrong. About everything. All throughout my life, I was flat-out wrong about myself, others, society, culture, the world, the universe, everything. And I hope that will continue to be the case for the rest of my life.

Just as Present me can look back on Past me’s every flaw and mistake, one day Future me will look back on Present me’s assumptions and notice similar flaws. And that will be a good thing. Because that will mean I have grown.

There’s that famous Michael Jordan quote about failing over and over and over again, and that’s why he succeeds. Well, I am always wrong about everything, and that’s why my life improves.
