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.
