German law professor. Also interested in stoic philosophy, bitcoin and chess.

I thought this was a sarcastic joke. It sounds like a revival of OneCoin combined with 1984.

Raphaela Edelbauer: Die Inkommensurablen.

»Was für ein Buch! Raphaela Edelbauer verwandelt den August 1914 in eine Traumnovelle. Wir schlafwandeln mit ihr durch ein erregtes Wien voll höherer Mathematik und niederem Wahn. Und wir galoppieren mit ihren vier apokalyptischen Reitern Adam, Hans, Klara und Helene in eine Zukunft, die diese schon als Vergangenheit erinnern. Ja, man stürzt in dieses Buch und in die letzten Tage des alten Europa, als fiele man in einen wilden Fiebertraum.« Florian Illies

I fully understand, investing is really fascinating, it requires knowledge in a variety of fields from math to law and geopolitics. I guess I am not hyperfocussed, because I do chess and investing (and law).

"Therefore we ought to love all our dear ones, both those we desire to outlive us by condition of their birth, and those who themselves pray most justly to pass away before us, but always in the realization that we have received no promise that they will be ours for ever, no, not even ours for a length of time." Seneca, Consolation for Marcia.

As long as you think "I am doing this" or "I have to do this",

or "I have to obtain something", you are actually not doing anything.

Just to be sincere and make our full effort in each moment is enough.

There is no Nirvana outside our practice. Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind.

Knowing that your life is short, to enjoy it day after day, moment after

moment, is the life of "form is form" and "emptiness is emptiness".

Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind.

"No dualism. Form is form and emptiness is emptiness." Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind.
