    29… +8 years

    8 years ago I celebrated my 29th birthday. This was an important mark for me for several reasons. All throughout my late teenage and early twenties I didn’t expect to live to be more than 25. I had undiagnosed schizophrenia and was struggling with depression. Mid-twenties it turned out, to my surprise, I would survive.…

  • The levitating monk

    The levitating monk

    “Prince Gautama, who had become Buddha, saw one of his followers meditating under a tree at the edge of the Ganges River. Upon inquiring why he was meditating, his follower stated he was attempting to become so enlightened he could cross the river unaided. Buddha gave him a few pennies and said: “Why don’t you…

  • The story of Convenience and Trouble

    The story of Convenience and Trouble

    Humankind invest in convenience and comfort. We choose the path of less resistance as often as we can. It’s what has brought us here. Our need for it is self-fulfilling.

  • Take possession of your life

    Take possession of your life

    “You can’t just walk into things with your eyes half open. You’ve got to know what you’re getting into and take possession of your life. It’s a thought process you constantly have to reaffirm or you’ll drift.” Paraphrased quote by Guy Ritchie

  • Outliving relevancy

    Outliving relevancy

    Among my scariest thoughts is the one that in 100.. 500.. 1000 years from now everything will still be the same. And this is harsh.. But nature takes care of a lot of problems over time. If we mess with immortality many ideas might very well outlive their relevancy.

    Night and Day

    TiuTiu historien

    In Danish only: 11 år siden startede JJ og jeg vores første business sammen. Hør os fortælle historier mens vi mindes intense, lærerige oplevelser som friske og naive iværksættere. Ufiltreret og med detaljer vi ikke har delt med andre før.

  • A letter from the brain to the brain

    A letter from the brain to the brain

    With my brain disease I often feel like my subconscious is able to communicate too directly with my consciousness in non-audible and non-conversational ways. This is a letter I imagined my subconscious would write my consciousness if it could. It’s exists in a conflict of troublesome grandiosity and comforting self-doubt.

    In 1970, a CBS executive famously said that there were four things you would never ever see on television:

  • A walk to the harbour

    Sometimes I get an elusive non-conversational, non-visual, non-audible, non-sensible and non-emotional thought that I is costly to transform into anything transferable… But I can’t resist pursuing the discovery of what it’ll reveal once transformed. This is one of those thoughts.

    What is it to you?

    I had this post played out in my mind during a walk two weeks ago. But it vanished from my memory and it didn’t return till an ambulance once more passed me.
