So I’ve been close to nature, in my whole life. And so and, and the experience of nature, continued in the Alps, where I became a good skier and love, you know, mountaineering and skiing. And I think this is significant, because I had a very direct experience of nature for for all of my early childhood. I should also mention that before that, we moved to Innsbruck when I was 13 years old, and the first 12 years of my life, I grew up on a farm. So my childhood was really dominated by, you know, discussions of, you know, art and philosophy. And we spent many of our summer vacations in Italy, where I got introduced to the Italian Renaissance and the Italian Baroque art as a small child. And I grew up together with my brother who is a filmmaker, and I grew up in Innsbruck in the Austrian Alps, very close to Italy. He had quite a large library of philosophical books and love to talk about philosophy. And my father was a lawyer, but also an amateur philosophy, philosopher.

And I grew up in Austria, with a mother who is who was a poet. I mean, I can start in my childhood, but I will, I will make it short. Well, free off d by giving us kind of a brief bio, and some of the big themes you’re interested in.
