I like making art. My favorite medium is the body. Movement. Interconnectedness. Magic. I am into modern dance, performance art, improv, and many other things.

"Shocking and shameful": comments from the President of the United States go "against universal values" according to @UNHumanRights spox Rupert Colville speaking in Geneva today

I really feel that some people neglect and overlook compassion because they associate it with religion. Of course, everyone is free to choose whether they pay religion any regard, but to neglect compassion is a mistake because it is the source of our own well-being.

Modern education pays little attention to inner values and yet our basic human nature is compassionate. We need to incorporate compassion and warm-heartedness into the modern education system to make it more holistic.

A final decision will be taken next Friday, 24 November. Best part was the increasing calls from most states for new international law & the new states joining the call to ban killer robots. Momentum is building for the inevitable ban.
