What you risk reveals what you value

About Me

I live in Jhb, South Africa. Studied in Holland for a couple a years and seriously into economic development and having idealistic beliefs that I was born to take over the world HAH HAH HA! I believe in the pursuit of truth as really being the only worthwhile goal in life! At the same time you have to create your own meaning which tends to expose how pointless life seems. Yes, vices are a worthy pursuit, so is mountains and rivers and tall skyscrapers and concrete jungles....

My Interests

Most activities where you can pack in a cooler bag, newspaper, sunglasses and set off on a mission to explore the law of unintended consequences, also philosophy and reading in general. Outdoor stuff. Challenges. Truth.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone really - unless your an idiot! Yes I realise that precludes most of the people on this planet! Nah, please, waste my time, i don't mind....

Music:

From Bob Dylan to Thievery Corporation. No metal, sorry African Beer Monster! Andrew Bird, Arcade Fire, Band of Horses, Interpol, and the like..

Movies:

Pi (as the mathematical symbol - 3.14....); Metropolis (Fritz Lang 1980s one).

Television:

I honestly try avoid TV as much as possible. Its evil and I find it tiring - it hurts my brain!

Books:

non-fiction, (auto)biographies, Jeneatte Winterson, Tom Robbins, George Orwell, Atwood, Houllebecq; anything that is well written. Favourite book is probably still Winterson's The Passion or possibly Michel Houellebecq's Atomised. The list goes on..
