About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Canada/NYC for research, new connections and second-hand clothes.

ABOUT ME

Political researcher straddling the fence between arts/science.

Bookish music nerd on the one hand, outgoing and freeballing (though not literally) on the other. Looking for connections and information and the next alternative to capitalism. Nothing is controversial.

PHILOSOPHY

Pluralism, non-violence, social equity and choice. The rest will follow.
