I enjoy intense political debates and reasoning around the purpose of religion. I have been around the block a few times. I have travelled extensively in the world and realised how one-sided and single-minded the typical Western outlook on life at large and other cultures is. The West is often wrong, and completely out of touch. Our traditional "Conservative or Religious" upbringing is one of the reasons why we do not see the obvious and the path to mutual respect and is often the reason for conflict in the world.

The psychology of social networking is one of my fields of interest and how this will affect us in business and in our personal lives. The long term effect in society at large is of far more interest and how we will manage our digital lives in the future before we lose control are topics I track with great interest, and where I am focusing my own research.
