CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Philosophical yet pragmatic. Consistently inconsequent, but reliable. And always smiling.

A bit more practical: I like psychology, sociology, linguistics and politics. I'm active member of attac and vegetarian on the way to become vegan. But nevertheless I try to take nothing too serious.

PHILOSOPHY

And if I laugh at any mortal thing, 'tis that I may not weep. (Lord Byron)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There have been many moments in my life when I got a glimpse of how the next level of consciousness could feel like. I also have felt in some moments the fragility of my construction of reality. What strikes me everytime I realize it, is the beauty of nature.
I wonder what the reason is that we as humans have a sense for it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: some biology and medical stuff (I'm veterinarian); how to make swabian Spätzle (noodles) and bavarian Obadzden (mingled cheese).
I want to learn: Everything. At least.
