My greatest interest of all is to understand how the world works, who we are, why we are here, what the purpose of our existence is, and so on. It is the greatest challenge to the human mind to find sound answers to these questions! Epistemology is related to metaphysics and deals with the question what, if anything at all, we are able to learn and be sure about that we know. I spent a lot of time thinking about this in my days as a university student.

This is a broad term that encompasses intelligence theory, psychometrics, neuroscience and other things. I have been spending a lot of time especially on intelligence testing and on getting to know what people who score very high on these tests are like. Moreover, I was particularly interested in personality psychology during my student years as I wanted to know the reasons why human beings are so different, and what the differences exactly are. I am especially fond of Carl Gustav Jung's personality theory and the psychological functions the existence of which he postulates.

I know quite a lot about all of the countries in the world despite having actually been in few, and I am able to retrieve all countries (except a few small islands) on a world map. There are loads of good books on these matters. Also, I particularly enjoyed long talks with my father on political philosophy when he was still alive. He knew pretty much about all the different ideologies there are. I also enjoy listening to all sorts of national anthems and political songs.
