Who I am

I'm a Libertarian Anarchist Socialist Quantum Physicist Humanist Buddhist, and more… and, at the same time, none of that. Those are labels and ideologies, and I ultimately reject them because they inevitably chain you up and make you serve "the cause". Beliefs and opinions kill growth, rooting you to an absolute (that is probably a lie); evolution can only ever occur in a steady stream of thoughts and ideas. I therefore naturally choose thoughts and ideas over opinions and beliefs. It keeps me flowing through this experience we call life. I hold on loosely and move fast, not wasting time defending some obsolete mindset, that is likely supporting someone else's (hidden) agenda.

I became what I chose, and become what I choose. My story is not unique. However, it is not all that common either, unfortunately. It is definitely one of reluctant opposition. If I see everyone going one way, it's a very good sign that I should be moving in the opposite direction. I don't seek to be different, but that's very often where I end up - with very few people along side and at a growing distance from the masses. I've grown to enjoy the quiet, away from all the lies and limitations of group-think.

What I am is not really important. What I do is. My sole intention is to create things that provide value and benefit to others, preferably on a global scale, but just making my neighbours happier is perfectly ok too.

If I had to define myself, I would say that I am a realist optimist. While perpetually, habitually, and forever optimistic, I've found it's important to first step back, analyze and define the current situation as it really is, in order to build the bridge necessary to get us to what could be. In other words, nothing is impossible, however, there is often some work to do to get you from where you are to where you want to be. A realist optimist can determine and define both sides, and bridge the gap.

What I am is constantly changing. What I do/create is continuously emerging from that perpetual change.
