What’s something you used to believe as a kid that seems ridiculous now?

I used to believe in the Weinachten Kind, in Czech Ježíšek, who brings presents similar to Santa here in Central Europe. And of course I grew out of it.

Everything is becoming gamified. My banking app always wants me to play some games and win prizes. Or my bank wants me to save this amount and I will get a bonus. Chatbot wants to talk to me about safety. Search engine now gives me pictures of cute animals as a reward for using it. And so life becomes this adventure game where you catch Pokemons all day. And not surprisingly, WordPress came up with its own set of achievements and one appears to be an achievement for short form. Guess what I got this for?

What’s a piece of media (book, movie, song) that changed how you see the world?

I love AI. Really helps me write my book. And since AI is just a software, my book would be much harder to write some 40 years ago in the absence of the software available to us today.

War is hybrid, it is a special military operation. Everything needs to have a legal euphemism or qualifying adjective in front of it. We have heard about the woes of Russian economy for the last 20 years. And I don’t wanna say the war and sanctions are not taking their toll, the Russian economy is still growing.

What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

Study for a career that is in demand. Difficult to do in our ever changing world. Do your research. Save up so you can retire early, this life is not worth it being stuck to an old age in a soul crushing work. Find hobbies that fulfill you.

Who are you most inspired by?

As a writer of a book, inspiration came from the astrologer André Barbault, another astrologer Cyril Fagan, and yet another Terry McKinnell. And finally Robert Zoller. Then Cabalistic writings and ancient myths. I then combine this with my extensive knowledge of history.

What’s your top tip to be successful in life?

I don’t think I have a recipe, or even an idea of what constitutes success. I personally experiences sudden bursts and setbacks. And what is the best strategy is to capitalize on the bursts so that the setbacks don’t hurt that much.
