I briefly want to formally introduce myself to all of you. A few moths back I came across a podcast where Gregg talked about the ToK-System and was fascinated by it immediatly. He also mentioned that thinking on a meta-level comes easy to him and at that point I decided to contact him. It deeply resonated with me. I have had a sense that was very similar to how I experience my mind working but had never heard someone articulate it like that. So I sent him an email and very quickly got a response from him kindly offering to talk with me. We had a really nice conversation and he helped me with some deeper questions about myself. Since I am a big believer in reciprocity, for the following days my mind kept wandering about how I could be of service to Gregg and the TOK Society in general. After some back and forth with Gregg I proposed to him that I could be of use in all things media.

My name is Christian by the way. I am from and live in St. Gilgen, Austria. I am a "master painter" and own and run a small painting company. My connection with this society feels very bizarre at times but deeply enriching already. I haven't recieved any substantial amount of formal intellectual education in my formative years. Most of my learning since then has happenend in a very autodidactig manner. My interests vary widely from craftsmanship and technology to philosophy and psychology. I enjoy the conversations that are happening on this list and since I dont have much to contribute to them I will humbly remain in the background and keep drinking from the fire hose while grounds keeping the channel and maybe some further projects in the future.
