Preview

4. Movies

When I was a teenager, I would go to the cinémathèque in Brussels all the time.

5. Hitchhiking

6. Joke writing

7. Stoicism

8. Ukulele

9. Atheism

I used to be obsessed with Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, etc. I'm not into the whole anti-theism thing anymore though (but I still love Sam Harris!)

10. Islam

Before I became a bit of an anti-theist (which, again, I'm not anymore), I got interested in Islam because an online friend was kind of trying to convert me (he says he didn't, but looking back, it looked like that a little!). I remember thinking "well who knows, maybe I'll be a Muslim one day, it would be awkward to tell my parents but it's plausible." It turned out that learning about Islam is what propelled me into anti-theism.
