Personal Beliefs

Clarity over conflict: I strongly believe that thinking clearly is a key skill we must master in order to understand each other and have a more respectful, fair and conflict-free society.

Long term over short term: I care about joining projects that are here stay and have a lasting impact on the world.

Intelligence over hustle: We should use our intelligence to work less, not more. Human beings are not one-dimensional and should have the time to pursue multiple interests that bring meaning to their lives.
