Because I get the sense that some people are curious, this is my life in a nutshell:
I essentially spent the first 30 years of my life playing computer games. I went to school and worked a little bit, but just enough to sustain myself. I've managed to fail to get an education from every known school: high school, trade school, college, and even university. I had many short-lived experiences working in offices and factories. Seven years ago I decided to take a job at a factory where I earned a few thousand euro before I went on summer break to travel to the US. I remained much longer than the three weeks I intended to stay. Towards the end, I was illegally in Trump's America helping a homeless woman remodel an old school bus into a mobile home.
When I got back, I was basically homeless myself. I bought a phone and a bottle of vodka with the 200 euro I had left. Then, 15 minutes after putting my résumé online, I accepted a job connecting people to fiber in villages around where I was born and my family lived. I was given a car and a steady income and could stay at my parents' home while working. I had to hook up televisions and internet to the newly installed fiber of hundreds of customers. Even though I don't have a television and connect to the internet with 4G only. After having avoided participating in society for decades, I worked that job for two years and came to know the world around me. And I saw the desperate state of it.
After that, I moved to a job in construction doing electrical wiring, as well as renovating buildings for air conditioning, solar panels, kitchens, automation and wifi for houses, apartments and care homes. I'd barely even hooked up as much as a lamp before that point. Three years later, I started a job in the agricultural technology sector, even though I'd never done anything with pumps, compressors, plumbing or mechanization. Or even saw a cow up close for that matter. Now I'm driving around two countries fixing up milk robots, day and night. Last Christmas Eve, I was driving pedal to the metal through Germany to fix a milk robot that had ceased operations. I got back at 3 AM. The next day I went to see my dad who was home alone since my nephew had chicken pox and my dad has no immune system to speak of.
My best friends are a traumatized/depressed German guy that keeps talking about death, a classic Florida man that just got out of rehab to an empty home robbed of all its furniture, and a schizo woman living in Hollywood who thinks that everyone she talks to online, including me and these other two guys, are either Robert Pattinson or Leonardo DiCaprio that are looking to manipulate and hurt her. I'm not really an angry person and I certainly don't want to hurt anyone. A lot of social interaction is just very performative for me. People have suggested I choose my words carefully, but when talking to people I can barely say anything at all. Often it is just a rehearsed speech. I'm not a big fan of words, not even the ones I use myself.
I like this world, but I think it can be so much better if there was just a little bit more space and breathing room for people of all shapes, minds, and colours across the face of it. Everyone should be free to be themselves. Humanity's collective intelligence should not be wasted on menial work for the masses or young poor people making war on behalf of the old and rich. No one should have to flee from their home. Sexual orientation and gender is mostly irrelevant to me, only consent matters. I try to be understanding. I'm not religious but I don't condemn people who are, I don't believe in nations but I don't condemn people who do. I don't really even believe that the sun will come up tomorrow, but sure am glad that it does every time, because that's how you know it's gonna be yet another great day! Can you imagine how miserable the day would be if it didn't?
