Philosophy means ‘love for wisdom’. This means you cannot possess wisdom, you can only strive for it. I try to acquire knowledge in all areas of life, but my main interests lie in economics, politics and history. My favorite philosopher is probably Socrates: at least, all quotes on my resume are his!
I have a very broad general interest, but I’ve come to learn that I’m triggered most by innovative solutions and new technologies. Things like human space travel, block chain, and the collaborative economy will have a big impact on our future.
Almost all sports can be inspiring. Unfortunately we don’t have time to practice all of them, but you could cross my path on the field/court while I’m playing football or squash; and in the wild when I’m cycling or snowboarding. I also visit the Amsterdam Arena regularly to support my club: Ajax!
The Dutch word ‘gezelligheid‘ is considered an untranslatable, and it is deeply ingrained into Dutch culture. I enjoy and search for it in all its forms: whether I’m playing board games, going out dancing, having dinner with friends or spending quality time with family!
I like to use my wit to push ideas and concepts forward.
