IT Freelancer, Contract Worker
Kiel, Germany
- About me
IT-Freelancer, Contract Worker (Security, IT-Infrastructure) currently living in Kiel, Germany.
Bio: I graduated with something called ("Mittlere Reife") at an absolutely insignificant German school before actually starting 20 years of studies on my own, outside the institutions. I was regularly visiting the libraries of the LMU and TUM (mentioned in Thomas Pynchon's" Gravity's Rainbow"), secretly attending some lectures at these two main universities, without being a student.
I also spent around 15 years regularly visiting the Technical Library of the Deutsche Museum (where Einstein was a fellow before the Nazis kicked him out) and the BSB (amongst the world largest libraries, with a huge collection of academic magazines).
I started reading philosophy - besides science-fiction books - at the age of maybe 11 or 12. I use the word 'philosophy' in the broadest sense - reading everything; from the history of philosophy, the philosophical models, to mathematics, scientific models, methodology, biology, logic, political theories, sociology, neuroscience, physics.
I earned my living with low-income jobs, mostly in retail, while studying and socializing with my student friends at night. Later on, I quit my job, dedicated to studying the Arts and Sciences - even being homeless and having no legal papers at one point - I spent several years travelling the world.
Origins: born 1967 in Munich, Germany
(my Mother migrated after World War 2 from Yugoslavia to West-Germany).
