About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to save the world and opposite
ABOUT ME
I think sometimes about solving the world or perhaps saving the world or perhaps just all of the above. I am graduating from psychology of conflict and starting my PhD in sociology this year. I have never spray painted anything including cars and buildings. I play Irish flute any time I feel slightly sad.
PHILOSOPHY
The universe is shrinking and we need to expand our hearts to kick it back into shape (this is example of blurred ironic reality)
You need to meet good people to keep them/you believe they exist (this is example of reality).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
me when I turned into an oracle so fast it felt like lightning speed
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share:
1. Comparative Ethics as a solution to postmodernism
2. A bunch of million other super abstract things
3. Basic course on practical psychoanalysis
4. Singing Celine Dion in baritone
5. Throwing a dice so that it lands on "6"
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am quite busy working on movies at times, but I can give some good guidelines for visiting Warsaw and drop into some legendary pub places. And dance, obviously.
