Political polarization is one of the big problems of our time. That's why I started a series of dialogues where I have friendly disagreements over controversial topics with a variety of guests. These conversations are guided by three core principles: scout mindset, non-violent communication, and radical honesty. When I'm not disagreeing with guests, I read my blog posts about atheism, rationality, philosophy, science, and sociopolitical issues. I have a BSc in computer engineering, an MA in analytic philosophy, and I volunteer at secular humanist and effective altruist organizations.
