Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To keep learning new things, meet new people and develop myself and others
ABOUT ME
I'd like to think I am an interested and interesting person, who loves conversation and meeting new people. I have passions for dancing (I hope not too badly!), reading (especially philosophy), and music. I think being a kind and good person is its own reward.
PHILOSOPHY
Loving one another as best as is possible is the route to freedom; we should strive to make the world hospitable for love, which striving is itself the work of love.

Music, Movies, and Books
Some philosophers whose books I especially like: Kant, Nietzsche, Adorno, Marx and Aristotle. Some types of music I like: house and techno, some classical composers, folk music and various kinds of rock music. Some novelists I like: Conrad, Joyce, Orwell, Hardy, Eco. I'm no film expert, but I've really enjoyed recently: Blad Runner, White Ribbon, Kaboom!.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Cycling through hills of southern China with my friend David is up there - craziest landscape I'd ever seen.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd like to learn more languages and how to play the guitar better. I'm happy to pass on some philosophy knowledge! Also sharing music is always a great idea.
