"I mean, it is that spirit that actually made us human. It is that neuroplasticity in our brain that we do not just repeat the conditioned sets that we ought to repeat. But that we actually dim down the command center in the brain and let other parts of the brain react, which is the psychedelic experience, basically. That, I think, contributes to the evolution of our species. And our species is certainly threatened by extinction. So I think if we somehow care for the human race then resistance becomes a very immediate and important topic, you know. Because you can resist, obviously. Your brain is yours. You can resist in many ways, you know, by thinking, just by thinking. That’s actually why I became a writer when I was a teenager. I was very political."

"I think so. And I think that also there are archives that are not open. Let’s say the Vatican archive. Some secret archives that some very powerful structures have, structures that we might not even know now off the top of our head, which still have a huge influence. So I think that human history is quite different from what most historians write. I think that’s just one version. I think there are several versions, and I think that it goes much deeper and is much more interesting. And so, I guess, this history is a very active thing, which I also didn’t know. You know, I was writing a historical nonfiction book, and I suddenly realized that this is like a shark pool because history defines the future or is very connected."

"I really realized that there is a greater, a bigger story, and it’s somehow interesting to try to open up. Because if we live… That’s why I like to be in nature also quite a lot. You have better access. We live boxed in. Walter Benjamin called us like the boxed human beings. Like we’re living in the cities, we’re waking up, we’re doing… It’s good to be, therefore, it’s good to be outside the system. And I hope that my art can contribute to, you know, freeing the brain waves to understanding a bit more. What that is, I don’t know, but I think the process of understanding more and connecting in different ways, that is what I’m going for because I think that is the meaning of life."
