ABOUT ME

I once did a silly questionnaire the result of which was a short paragraph that described me to perfection. Ever since, though, I’ve been trying to forget this humiliating incident, so I can’t make use of it now.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is best at the Edge of Chaos.

(I'm actually a hedonistic atheist anarchist, although politically I advocate direct democracy and economic degrowth.)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences hosting and being put up (with) have been very good. However, when I really noticed what a great thing CS is was when I went for a month-long visit to La Plata University, Argentina, and by signing up to their group immediately met loads of interesting, gregarious, charming and entertaining people - many of whom have become my friends. It's better than being in a sect, or the Freemasons!

Интересы

I’m interested in everything, to a degree. Academically, the things I’m most curious about can usually be placed under the umbrella of Complex Systems (the brain, society, ecosystems, the macroeconomy, language, the universe, life...) Entertainment-wise, I like all the usual stuff like reading, frequenting bars, making noise under the pretence that it is music, etc. Politically, I’m bent on bringing about a paradigm shift: we should go direct. My remaining interests are probably too boring and/or too personal to describe here.

• cooking
• reading
• music
• atheism
• languages

Музыка, кино и книги

Book: Consider Phlebas (Iain M. Banks); Film: Días de fútbol; Music: Concierto de Aranjuez (interpreted by the Jim Hall Quartet).

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'd be grateful if you could teach me any languages. My brain no longer seems capable of actually learning them, but it's usually fun trying. I can make an attempt at teaching the ones I speak.

I could also do with learning to cook better - not for my own sake (I'm really easy to please) but for anyone else who might be eating what I make.
