About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fight the trivialization of everyday life

ABOUT ME

I'm happiest when I'm learning, and so I learn every day and I listen to what people have to say. To learn anything about the world is to completely reinvent it... I love newness and challenging my mind. Let's talk, explore, and create spontaneously, outdoors, if possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Everything's a miracle.

Interests

rewilding, reading and discussing and thinking in new ways, engaging and exercising my body and mind and running after things, fighting the war on drugs for the good guys, the workers' struggle, making things that make people feel good or allow people to be more easily... like poetry or special brownies, climbing shit, Nature, sustainable development, helping hands, turning anthropology on the West.

Music, Movies, and Books

Khalil Gibran, Hakim Bey, Guy Debord, Nietzsche, any religious text

punk, blues, hendrix, dylan, live jazz, dirty south, radiohead, folk

Dr. Strangelove

I need recommendations and please feel free to lecture me on anything at all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gave a final presentation naked on Hakim Bey, an author called an "ontological anarchist" who advocates poetic terror. Only time the class didn't take a break all year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love stories... histories, myths, legends, lies, technological leaps, conspiracies, really any kind, especially ones that reinvent the world around me.

I can teach intellectual disorientation and deconnaissance in conversation pretty well by taking people down logical rabbit holes and emerging in Wonderland. Always a good trip!
