CURRENT MISSION

Understanding as many things as possible

ABOUT ME

I value nature, modern democratic values, freedom of speech, open-mindedness, thoroughness, kindness, peace, efficiency, understanding.

I resent judgment, injustice, environmental damages.

I am agnostic, meaning that I do not have enough evidence to prove or disprove the existence of god(s). That said, I believe that if god exists s/he is probably nothing like the main religions describe in their holly books. I enjoy conversations on that topic with believers and non believers alike.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a citizen of the world before anything else.

Treat others and nature the way you like to be treated.

Understanding is the essence of intelligence. Learning is the act of memorizing understood concepts.

The soul is the difference between the whole and the sum of its parts.

Man-made objects are alive, they are born, live, reproduce, and die, they evolve after each generation, some species disappear when they are not fit anymore - e.g. vapor-powered machines, mainframe computers.

Consequentialism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequentialism

If god exists, and is honest, s/he does not judge his creation and is humbled by any mistake we might make.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Running away with my younger brother when I was 9. First real freedom experience.

Bike riding from Lisieux (France) to Toulon through massif central with same brother when I was 16. This was a wonderful freedom experience.

Living France to live abroad with my family.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know something about healthy nutrition that I can share with other people willing to improve their health or understand why nutrition can not only prevent the onset of many diseases but can also cure many chronic diseases such as asthma, arthritis and cancers:
