Hi, I’m Klemen

It’s a pleasure to meet you.

 

Originally Slovenian, I ran away from “home” in my teens to play baseball in California.



With time I found myself bouncing in-between societies, free.

During this time I developed a passion for freedom, world travel, empathy,

exploring the human condition with curiosity while spreading love ❤

Green: Countries I’ve visited, Blue: Countries I’ve lived in


In 2017 my life changed significantly when my wandering path by chance led me to DPR (North) Korea.

Infatuated with the human situation there, looking beyond politics or ideology I started a small little non profit reforestation project called Tomorrow Tree which led to the idea of a SCAO (Smart Contract Assisted Organization) and how smart contracts could be used in geopolitics.

Generally, I avoid holding significant, well defined personal ideological or political beliefs.

The few which I inevitably do form as a result from life experience, do not change my open mindedness, as I am personally of the opinion that regardless of labels, in the absence of circumstance (which cause “little” differences between us) we are all the same in the grand scheme of things.

We are all innately terrible at admitting our own flaws, and exposed to various psychological and sociological mechanisms which perpetuate our “self - confirmation bias” - leading to all sorts of trouble in-between us.

We should thus always stay open minded and allow for the possibility of being wrong.

We can not resolve any issues by listening to only a single voice, or a single group.

The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.

Understand that I personally love all: the United States, the DPRK (North Korea), the ROK (South Korea), China, Russia... the whole world; left leaning, right leaning, all races, all genders, all classes... To me personally, for better or worse humans are humans; Everyone deserves love, understanding, opportunity, empathy and forgiveness.
