As a Northern European I have grown up in a homogeneous society at peace with former enemies. I know first hand of the benefits of economic and cultural cooperation and have enjoyed the benefits of a society with freedom of speech, assembly and no religious oppression.

However, the recent years have shown that hatred and violence is never far away. We are different and should enjoy and respect these differences. Sadly most of the Earth is heading in the wrong direction with more hate than kindness, with more religious oppression than scientific knowledge.

I am from Denmark, though currently live Malmo in Sweden. I have lived in Munich in Germany and Birmingham in the UK. (Well, England. They can be quite disunited in the British Isles.) I work as a translator, until AI takes my job, of course.

Asgardia is a wonderful vision of a society where we can leave our bad habits behind and embrace the future rather than be dictated by humanity's deplorable past. Not all is perfect with Asgardia - yet! Hence my desire to improve from within, to be part of the new vision, to help make the world a better place.

I dream of a society where ...

People are free to live life as they want, but with respect for others.

Justice prevails in terms of right and wrong, freedom and responsibility.

People themselves decide how they should be governed instead of being manipulated by an elite.

We progress in a sustainable manner for our own sake and the sake of the future.
