About me A 44-year-old teacher, software developer, and musician from Luxembourg, Europe. Favorite music Countless artists, from Chuck Berry over Black Sabbath to Radiohead. No favorite genre, although I usually prefer alternative and underground stuff, from weird indie music to heavy metal. Restarted collecting vinyl records a few years ago. Favorite movies Too many to name them all – from Citizen Kane over The Godfather, Star Wars and 2001: A Space Odyssey to Pulp Fiction and The Big Lebowski. Fan of cult and underground movies, from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari over Jörg Buttgereit to Tommy Wiseau's The Room. Favorite books The Open Society and Its Enemies (Karl Popper), Finnegans Wake (James Joyce), The Limits To Growth (Meadows, Meadows, Randers, Behrens), various books on systems theory, and some other stuff. Favorite series Monty Python's Flying Circus (plus the movies of course), Married With Children (that's one great childhood memory), Breaking Bad, and Game Of Thrones of course. Politics Highly influenced by Karl Popper when I was a teenager, and so I'm not supporting one specific political party.

Philosophy Influenced by Karl Popper, Immanuel Kant, and more recently by Nick Bostrom. Thinking about the meaning of life quite often. Science Highly interested in science, quantum mechanics, and relativity. Skeptical when it comes to superstring theory, not too optimistic that we'll ever be able to crack quantum gravity. Big fan of Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Werner Heisenberg, Murray Gell-Mann. The Earth is not flat.
