CURRENT MISSION

Wisdom. Right here, right now!

ABOUT ME

Very open minded, too much some may say! I might even seem shy at the beginning, or in front of narrow minded people, as I can be worried to say something shocking :) So go on and be at ease, you can talk about the most taboo or crazy subjects with me, we will surely have a great time discussing!

I like to discover new people, each with a new point of view on the world.

Places I have been.

PHILOSOPHY

What I seek the most in life is probably understanding and wisdom. This is closely followed by feeling good vibes, experiencing different states of consciousness though sensitive experiences, including meditation, sensuality and not-too-extreme sports ;)

My utopia would be what I call a "global resource based digital acratia" Ã la Island. That is to say some social organization aimed at nurturing the self actualization of every single person on earth with a maximum of respect for the whole geo and biosphere, as described in "Island" a novel by Aldous Huxley. But updated with present day technology, including especially automation and digital technologies, networking capabilities such as opened by internet and cell phones. All of these used to optimize work and resources, instead of a money and finance based economy as described in "Zeigeist: moving forward".

I believe initiatives such as couchsurfing.org are precursor to this ideal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by donating through the "Get Verified" program. And of course by hosting people, which I actually started before I even was on the site!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had already hosted couch surfers I met through friends and roommates before I decided to join the website. This has always been a great experience to share different points of view on life and the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
David Lynch, Gaspar Noé (especially "Enter The Void"),
"Network" (1976), "Blindnes", "Mr Nobody", "Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulin", "The Wall", "Altered States", "The Trip", "Last stop for Paul", "Watchmen", "Zeitgeist: moving Forward", "The Corporation", "Home".

Books:
"The Shadows of the Mind", Roger Penrose
"Island", Aldous Huxley
Bernard Werber

I enjoy various style of music, including psychedelic (Pink Floyd...), some commercial electro, house, Big Beat (Prodigy, Chemical Brothers), and hip-hop/rap/R&B (Jurassic 5, Unsung Heroes, IAM, NTM... and Beyoncé!) popular music (Cypress Hill, even 50 cents...), funk, jazz, bossa nova, metal and fusion (RATM, Audioslave, Limp Bizkit...), Industial (Rammstein, Laibach...), Reggae/Dub (Groundation, Tryo, Peuple de l'herbe, Dub inc, Max Romeo...), Tip-Hop (Massive Attack, Portishead, Hooverphonics).

Actually, it's easier to say that what I really don't like is a specific type of "variété", impersonated by people such as Lara Fabian, Céline Dion, Garou, etc... As far as oldies are concerned, I cherish dance music from the 90's, but I can't stand Disco from the 70's and pop from the 80's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am not very comfortable with this question, it sounds a little bit like bragging... but let's see:

Most amazing thing in my life - excluding polyamorous folks because they are not a thing! - is probably entheogenic experience. Impossible to describe shortly.

Then probably comes the Thai people and King.

Diving at Diamond Rock (le Rocher du Dianand) in Martinique (french west indies): amazing colors!

Skiing on up to 2 meters of virgin powder, on the black wall (le mur noir), at the frontier between France and Switzerland.

Walking on the roof of the World Trade Center and watch it being destroyed a couple of years later: what a shock!

Plus tons of other stuffs that only decency, prevents me from telling publicly!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can be a terrible ski teacher, especially if you are a beginner and want to twist a knee ;)
A bit of cooking.
Mathematics, Physics, computer science.
Currently learning quantum physics and general relativity.
I love philosophical and metaphysical discussions.
I love as well to discuss psychology and sexology.
