About Me

CURRENT MISSION

understanding the mind of human. (I know it's impossible.)

ABOUT ME

I am definitely a tinker and a thinker, but no longer a dreamer.
I care for books, poems, films, music, paintings, stand-up comedy, forests and also interesting people; besides my hobbies, I study cognitive neuroscience.

PHILOSOPHY

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

The universe is winding down, why shouldn't we?

Interests

In addition to what I've mentioned in my personal description, I'm also interested in the nature, religion, philosophy, science, high tech, culture, society, human behaviour,anything worth thinking about, wine, tea, coffee, gin, Belgian bier, introspection and of course scrumptious vegetarian/vegan food.
