About Me

CURRENT MISSION

the destruction of civilization and the reconnection to life

ABOUT ME

I look like a person. I wear clothes when I am in public, and sometimes also when I am not. One day I will bring down civilization. If this doesn't work, I will at least settle down in a teepee and grow vegetables for a living. Most of the time I will talk about philosophy, but sometimes I will dig holes.

PHILOSOPHY

Civilization is not, and will never be, sustainable. I used to have a long rant about that on my profile, but I took it down because I don't think that's what you came here for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Used to couchsurf a lot. Even couchsurfed my way across the country once. Hosted quite a few times, too. I like to meet new people, but it's been a while since I've been active in the CS community.
