A scientist by day but I dare say doing research has quite rubbed off on me, as most people describe me as being analytical. The plus side of this is that I'm quite open to new experiences and love learning new things. Just don't be surprised if I start deconstructing our interaction on our first meeting.
If talking about ideas appeals to you instead of talking about the weather, I'm sure we will have fun :) Even though this might make me seem as someone who takes him self very seriously, my demeanor is actually quite laid back and I do enjoy playful banter.

My free time is mostly dedicated to soaking up information about culture, people, psychology, philosophy, technology and science. Extremely interested in fringe and counterculture! If you are weird, I want to meet you. People that explore different paths and carve niches in society are endlessly fascinating :D Occasional lesswrong.com binger.

Speech is one of my primary modes of expression and I highly value honest exchanges of opinions and viewpoints, as that seems to be the one of the best methods of connecting with people and actually contributing to an overall awareness of the human condition.

Experienced psychonaut. Trying to dabble in the occult and esoteric as form of biohacking. Extremely interested in the intersection of mysticism and science. I've engaged in labyrinth walking, drum meditations, sound baths, sigil craft, shamanic sauna rituals, Pandora star sessions. Recently picked up tarot as a personal instrument of meditation/party trick as and I was surprised that I quite like it. Don't believe in any divinatory shit tho, i approach it more of a collection of archetypes as building blocks for narrative experimentation :D Reading about the history of occultism and trying to understand why we as a species gravitate towards 'magic'.

Into kink and tantra, though I am still a beginner. Love exploring sexuality as both an academic and a form of authentic and compassionate human connection

Volunteer in drug harm reduction as part of the Psychedelic Society of Lithuania and create content for drug awareness. Occasional public speaker on drugs, art and science.

Very to the left in terms of politics, I'm not sure would advocate for full blown socialism, but definitely socdem - democratization of workplaces and more wealth redistribution.

Amateur photographer - people that don't like to be photographed often turn out to be the best models.

Indie video game snob. Chances are I've played more weird artsy indie games than most people you will meet in your life.
