What motivates you?
Curiosity, inequality, love.
The best advice you have ever been given?
Being kind-hearted to my fellow citizens and me.
What are you learning right now that you still have to get good at?
I would distribute money fairly and make accessibility mandatory for the private sector.
What would you chance if you had the power to do so?
Flying. I‘d be happy with 5 centimeters above ground level.
