  • Reincarnation is real, in some way. I interpret reincarnation as this: One hydrogen atom in my body could have been the exact hydrogen atom which was part of Isaac Newton’s body. Or a carbon atom in me was one which was part of a bacterium’s. :) About the eternity of a soul, or even the existence of it, I don’t believe.












  • This is one of the reason why I think the price of property should be regulated somehow by the government. The cost/ tax of a second house should be exponentially higher to discourage people doing this, so that a renting a second house should be a financial catastrophe. Capitalism, free market does not work, especially for basic human needs (food, shelter, health, energy, and if I may say education).

    I myself bought my house 2 years ago, and the price was already ridiculous. Let’s say I paid almost 100k€ more than the estimated worth of the house (cause of market price). I’m pretty sure the price will collapse after some time. The price can increase 30-40 percent in 3-5 years. It’s crazy. The money invested here is much higher than I did when I was renting an apartment tho.

    Sounds great! I still don’t think that a cargo bike is very safe. Especially for a baby. :(

    It definitely crosses my mind, that I’d do that if the kid is getting older. But definitely not before 2-3 years old.

    I haven’t bought a car yet. I’m still in paternal leave so I can manage to do everything. Once I start working, let’s see how well we are doing without a car. :)

    Live in a not so small town in Germany. I haven’t had the need to have a car after I have been living for 9 years.

    I commute with bike to work, take public transport when it’s a farther journey.

    Until I have a daughter a couple of months ago. I realize that I really need a car. :(
