Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'd go for this old classic: change what you can change, accept what you cannot.
ABOUT ME
I'm a researcher—which is nice, because it brings me at very nice places around the world, to meet amazing people. I do stuff at the crossroad of philosophy and computer science—with a spritz of psychology, linguistics, sociology, etc.
Implication in my community is important to me. I've been a scouts counselor and a volunteer educator, I'm a founding member of Philopolis (www.philopolis.net), I did legal assistance work following the 2012 student strike, and now I'm volunteering a local environmental group.
As a host, I'm usually really busy, so probably not the type to show you around, but I find it important to take the time to discuss and learn new things. I love to talk about everything—I'll respect your boundaries, but I'm happy to explore my own.

Music, Movies, and Books
These days... Nujabes is big for me in terms of music. Favorite movie... let's say Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Favorite book... perhaps the Karamazov brothers.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The best adventures don't necessarily make for the best stories.
Teach, Learn, Share
Philosophy, computer science, cognitive science, French, English, Spanish (for beginners), alpine skying, some cooking, ...
What I Can Share with Hosts
Everyone has something to teach me, and vice versa, but I think it's best when we open ourselves to the possibility that it might not be what we think it is. So yeah, engaging in dialogue, to share perspective on things, and let the conversation lead us to learn about each other.
