Disclaimer

I am one of the most privileged humans on this planet. I am a white, straight, male human, born in a western country. I have loving and supportive parents and the luck to have both of them around. The only negative experiences based on prejudices I had to deal with were more or less based on beliefs I chose, not on skin color, gender, nationality or whatsoever.

I try to be a good human with as little as possible preconception, but I am also result of a culture that is built on bad human traits.

Nevertheless, I think we should have an open and constructive dialogue with everybody who is willing to do the same, especially with somebody who has a different perspective and standpoint.

Some of my beliefs

  • Science is real
  • every human has the right to live freely and without constraints
  • Kindness wins
  • Human thinking is highly biased
  • There is no god
  • Climate change is real
  • Humanity will extinct due to our inability to do the right thing
