GMU:Thinking in tanks II/punkartoffel

BACKGROUND:

• raised by a very religious single mother
  • childhood was shaped by Christianity but I hated god so much for it that I stopped believing in him very early
  • youth was shaped by mother believing in all kinds of weird stuff, especially conspiracies
  • always was told "politics is something very boring and thinking about it will just make you sick, nothing can be changed anyway" - so I was highly unpolitical and wanted to know nothing

• coming of age, I met some very sympathetical punks and discovered rock festival culture
  • I learned that I was wrong about politics

• my grandfather wants me to be a politician instead of an artist

IDEAS:

• solving world hunger by forcing the food industry to go vegan
• establish astrology as real science again and make it influence politics
• experiment with laws concerning drugs (legalize them all? prohibit alcohol in Germany?) and watch the mayhem

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• "The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club.[...]"
