If I was the president

I don't really consider myself a singer, but sometimes I do get inspiration in the form of songs. This is a little song I wrote running up to the 2020 American elections. There are some obvious references to certain political figures and debates going on at the time, but at the same time, it is meant to be universal.

(PS: The last verse is not autobiographic, my mom and dad get along fine, I love you, you are amazing!)

I would make this suffering end
I would care about human lives
Man would not mistreat their wives
Every people would live free
There would be democracy

If I was the president
I would make this madness end
We’d all have enough to eat
Nobody’d need to be on the street
I would sow love not hate
I would make my country great

If I was the president
I would try to understand
How this ol’ world has gone so wrong
Why can’t we all live as one
The Hindu, Muslim and the Jew
Brothers and sisters me and you

If I was the president
I’d save the dolphins and the elephants
I would make the climate cool
Children wouldn’t have to go to school
People would no more eat meat
All the chickens and cows would be freed

But I can't be the man in chief
They say I’m too young, I’m naive
We gotta save the economy
Protect our borders, erect a fence
If I was the president...

Humanity 2.0 - 10 Principles for a Compassionate Society

Great news! I co-authored a book, and it finally got published! It is called Humanity 2.0 - 10 Principles for a Compassionate Society . I wrote it together with Aviram, the founder of Sadhana Forest , the community in India where i lived for 7 years. In a nutshell, it is a book about the vision and values behind Sadhana Forest. It offers an in-depth discussion of the ideals of Aviram and his family, on which he built Sadhana Forest and which he has been putting into practice for over 20 years. So it is not a book about Sadhana Forest as such, but about how to create an inclusive and compassionate life and community, in terms of parenting, education, health, economics, community etc. Quite broad and ambitious! The book is based on Aviram's experience, combined with a lot of research. What was my role in the birthing of this book? When i came to Sadhana Forest, i always felt so inspired to hear Aviram talk, and i wanted everyone to be able to receive his wisdom. I approached Av...

What's the matter with foreign aid? (3) Towards collaborative aid

In the first part of the essay, we sketched the economical and political historic background of the current aid system. In the second part, we looked at things in the current NGO-based aid system that are not quite optimal. In the final part, I will start addressing solutions, based on my own experience. What does impactful, effective NGO work look like? We should focus on a paradigm of collaborative, community-based aid, rather than aid delivery. How to create good conditions for people? An impactful paradigm is grassroots and not top-down. Local people should be co-creators, who, with the support of aid agencies, move towards becoming more independent and self-sustaining. Aid oughtn't be ‘pushed’ on local people. The Listening Project talks about a ‘collaborative aid system’.(1) You could also call it a community-based approach, where you strengthen local communities by building strong ties with them and giving them the support that really need. You achieve this by taking your ...

What's the matter with foreign aid? (1) Development as colonialism

This is the first part of a three part critique of our aid and development model. This first part of this essay is a brief look into the historical context of our current development paradigm. (1) I grew up believing that something changed after WWII, there had been a global awakening, and the start of a period marked by international collaboration and respect for human rights, advanced by such historic achievements as the founding of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the independence of former colonies. Based on these new foundations, there would be a steady progress towards, peace, freedom and equality, thanks to a process called 'development'. I am a bit older now, and have worked for nearly 7 years in this field of development. My optimism has faded, and I am starting to fear it may have been a naive childhood illusion. Has anything really fundamentally changed? Development as we know it today started after the second World War. At the end of...
