My current projects & activism is on the right.
I encourage living with less, such as:
- walking barefoot, as it’s healthy
- cycling – because it’s fucking awesome
- sleeping on the floor, although »some folks might think you’re strange«
- drinking tap water as it’s more healthy and ecological than bottled
- consuming less animal products as it’s uneconomical and unecological
- not smoking because of child labor, economy & environment
- using no cosmetics as they damage skin and hair
- discarding belief over rational thought and discourse
- donation of blood type 0+, organs & bone marrow
- opposing racism, sexism and other systems of oppression
- disregarding age and birthdays, instead gifting when I feel like it
- exploring moneylessness & freeganism

Lately I have been trying pretty hard to find as many positive-thinkers as my time permits, and I was very impressed when I ran into your site. Keep up the good work. I want try to help out because open technology and information could solve so many problems people face today. Keep up the good work
Thanks man, and sorry for the late reply. I’m pretty humbled by your comment.
Using and/or helping out some of the great free projects out there would be a good start.
By the way: Who else did you find?
I don’t know why. This space inspires me. I have one question to you ?. How do you live this way and what drives you to live the way your live ?.
Thank you! I just do what I love and connect with people who do the same. I’m driven by making things better for everyone and caring less about my own wealth – especially because you’re most happy when you do what you love anyway.
The quotes who inspired me are also a good list if you want to know what drives me. And your post on simplifying pretty much goes to the point.
Yes, I did go through your “Taste” page. I empathize with a few ‘quotes’ you have posted in the page. The fourth one, by Socrates, is something I am actively trying to inculcate into my life.
I am presently reading an article by the name “Death Delusion”. The page one that you have linked from your “Ability” page.
