More About Me

I'm passionate about

Philosophy, technology and science

An idea worth spreading

Money should not be the most prominent value system. Richness of value systems requires a diversity of complementary currencies not dominated by purely economic values. The lack hereof is at the core of the problems of today's world. TED should contribute to this urgent mind shift.
