About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having fun with modest folks, enjoying life

ABOUT ME

Relaxed, casual, sportive, educated, liberal, idealistic but critical

PHILOSOPHY

Humanistic civilization.
Social, moral and spiritual progress, development and evolution are possible, proven and real, but so are barbarism, primitivism and autism.
Idealism is as suspect as religion and charity, as selflesness is scarce and requires introspection, and most people are too busy, ambitious, horny, greedy, lazy, stupid or afraid for that.
But I respect sincere idealism though I'm not exactly an activist myself and a bit sceptical.

Interests

Underground music, running and cycling, history and cultural anthropology, politics, news, backpacking
