About

A curious mind. Creative by heart, rational by training. I'm passionate about connecting ideas in unconventional ways. Topics I am curious about include: Human Longevity, Cognitive Science, Recursively Self-Improving AI, Robotics, Existentialist Philosophy, Evolutionary Psychology, Military Strategy, Autodidactic Learning, DAOs, Regulatory Science, Design Thinking, Behavioural Economics, Scientific Spirituality, and Complexity Theory. During high school, I built a 7-digit e-commerce company to finance my studies. A year later, I expanded to the US and learned the hard lesson of premature scaling. When I entered business school at WHU, I realised the importance of technology. Since no classes were taught at that time, I developed two accredited university courses in my first year. Over the years, I have accumulated knowledge on effective learning - and thus written a book about it. I envision a future where human beings are in a constant Floy of happiness, unleashing their creative potential. I believe curiosity and courage are the foundation of progress. I plan to live for another 150 years. Death is simply another problem to be solved.
