Overview
About Me
I don't like to offend people by being banal so I tend to challenge their paradigms and I expect them to challenge mine in exchange. But can't work with people who wear suits to swimming pool and take themselves too seriously.
I see myself as painter but I make living as graphic designer/journalist/environmentalist.
To sum it up in 2 words - modest and entertaining.
Interests
I am aspiring pansophist, but if I could say main interest of me it would be:
Arts - painting, I've also made some sculptures. I have talent for poetry but I am currently quite dry, feel free to help me out. I am surrealist and I see it as a true religion, on the opposite I am strongly against conceptual art and most of the contemporary art in general.
Politics - which means any kind of participation in public life.
Sports - football, rugby.
Arguing - people see arguing as something negative. For me it is just friendly intellectual exercise like antic philosophers used do. I think that person should be ready and willing to defend any of his or her opinions at any time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I spent one summer in painting frenzy finishing the magnum opus of my life. 2 months of sheer obsession.
I wrote a book about what Vladimir Putin was going to do in the Ukraine before he did it.
(That's 2, I am aware of that)
Teach, Learn, Share
My former flatmates used to call me "Wikipedia". My other flatmate made me a door sign saying "Free lance thinker".
I admit, I could be annoying, but I hope interesting at the same time. Currently I am trying to connect findings of social sciences with the shift in world's economy, which is hopefully ahead of us. Naked ape vs. Industry 4.0 could be good example of stimulating topic.
I am avid fan of comparative mythology. Thus I see myself as a structuralist.
