CURRENT MISSION

to rid the world of tv

ABOUT ME

backpacked around the world for a few years and miss meeting so many interesting random people all the time, so I enjoy sharing my house with people who come to Dublin.

it's fun meeting people who disagree with me as much as people who agree, people with no opinion on anything... not so much fun.

PHILOSOPHY

Pronoid. The flip side of paranoia: “pronoia” — the idea that everyone is not out to get you, but that they are out to love you, or at least to appreciate you, if you reciprocate. According to the new Darwinism, only the pronoid survive — in fact, only the pronoid endure and flourish. [Fast Company, Nov. 1999]
