About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore Switzerland

ABOUT ME

Since the very young age, I played chess and became a chess master. My current hobby is very different - tai-chi, which is a combination of meditation and martial art. My other interests are philosophy, poetry, zen and some other spiritual teachings such as Kastaneda and Osho.
As my main work I'm doing Ph.D on cognitive psychology in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In my phd I am studying the role of motivation in influence of unconscious information on choice.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that people across all nations and religions should unify into one big and happy village. The Paradise is not out there, but inside ourselves and instead waiting it, we should create it by ourselves. I am a vegeterian, however not a fanatic one, though I believe that it would be better for all livinig beings not to eat each other. I am a pacifist, though I believe that everyone has a right to defend himself.
I believe that the development of technology should be done with a caution and serve first and foremost the goals of peace and prosperity of all living beings.
