Are you the „here and now“ or „dream about the future“ kind of person?
WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON
What is your FUC*?
*frequently uttered concern
Dumbing it down to the Point of No-Return! i.e. things stay dumb 🙂 instead of making you smarter. Smart it up is better than dumb it down! Why not raise the intellectual level of our students/audiences so they can better appreciate complexity - rather than making things overtly simple! The world is never simple! It is beautiful complexity. Learn to admire it, respect it and love it - then can you only understand it!
FREQUENTLY UTTERED CONCERN

When things get complex - PLAY not PRAY.
Bumper sticker
Decide if the following statements are a curse or a blessing, there is no maybe.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING!
What does your morning (routine) look like?
Relaxed, a hearty breakfast and Indian Chai always ensures a great and energetic start to the day! Nothing like a couple of rounds of bullet chess to wake up your brain and get buzzing.
100 MINUTES OF SOLITUDE

Purpose is:
THE SECRET SAUCE OF LIFE
This law should exist:
§
Break enough rules to make a change - but not so many that you get to jail. Map all consequences of your actions - even the good ones 🙂
ABOVE THE LAW
Complete the following sentences!
Perseverance is the ability to float despite everything that tries to drown you.
Responsibility is ensuring that in saving yourself you don't doom others.
Vulnerability is not having the belief that you can do it (even if you have the skills & support).
Gratitude is recognizing that almost everything new is on the shoulders of someone else.
Curiosity is finding out all the ways possible to stay afloat.
THE MISSING PIECE
What’s something you have been doing wrong all your life until recently?
Peeling a banana from its stalk is not how nature intended it. After observing how monkey peel it - I realised I have been doing it wrong my whole life. They always peel from the "other" side and use the stalk to hold the banana while eating it!
NOTE TO SELF
How much would you pay yourself per hour?
1000 Euros 😀
A REAL BARGAIN

What are three things you want to learn next?
1. Are we alone in the universe?
2. Being human in an age of AI & what does it mean to be human?
3. How deep is our ignorance?
LEARNING AS A LIFESTYLE
???
What’s the best question you have ever been asked?
From a student - "how can you ever be sure that what you think is good today will not be bad tomorrow?" - in other words: can we ever be sure of all of the consequences of our actions today (esp when working with innovative technology)!
THE RIGHT TO REMAIN THOUGHTFUL
Which items should people scratch of their bucket list immediately?
THE UNBUCKET LIST
Which film role would you like to play?
Ashton Kutcher - The Butterfly Effect (realising things have consequences no matter how much you try to change them)
DREAMCAST
What is it like to be you?
WO / MAN IN THE MIRROR
How can you measure whether an idea is good or bad?
When it evokes extreme reactions or polarises people - it means you have something that moves people and thus worth pursuing! Good or bad - is more difficult - only time will tell!
FOOLS AND TOOLS
Transformation is:
Transformation of the Self is probably the biggest transformation you can achieve. As the Sufi poet once said "“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." Based on this, my definition is Don't try and change the world - change yourself and believe in your own actions and impact. Even if one other person looks at you and is inspired you have changed the world for that one person!
TRANSFORMATION TRANSCRIBED
What question would you like to ask your fear?
😱
Can we live totally alone and isolated?
