About Me
- Name: jonathan even-zohar
- Location: Leiden, South-Holland, Netherlands
A strange compilation of genes, sensors, motological movement and traces of soul-emulation exists within my biosphere of bacteria, virusses, phenotypes, memes and pumping blood. I intend to survive in way that increases existential harmony, as it is recognised by I & I. I listen to music that depicts happyness, violence, love, hatred, compassion, depression, complexity, honesty, silence and shock.

Jonathan Even-Zohar was born in 1982 in a hospital just outside of
Tel-Aviv, the dune of spring. Already an intellectual at the age of five
he amazed his mother and friends by pondering the meaning of life and
death. However, being drawn towards Playmobil, television and computers
he soon lost interest in these matters.
It was after the Gulf War that his mother and boyfriend at the time decided to 'descend' from the Holy land and set sail towards The Hague, being the birthplace of Even-Zohars
mother. Jonathan managed well in Grade school and High school, so the
next logical step was the University, the infinite source of knowledge.
After speculating on Industrial Design, Social Geography and Journalism
it was the study of History at Leiden that turned out to be his
decision.
Now, four years into the study, matters have only become more
complicated as this student advances towards World History; meaning the
complete array of fields a historian may implement in explaining the
entire past of the entire world to fellow men. It is especially the
philosophical character of World History that attracted Jonathan.
For him there is only one question that stands above all others like a
lonely chuchtower in some Flemish village, which asks the cause of the
Western Rise and the Industrial Revolution. Furthermore, the role of the
European self- and worldimage throughout its history may explain the
role of Europe in the Eurasian Human Web. Thus, the direct contact
between Islam and Christianity is to be investigated. Were Muslims
constantly on the verge of invading Europe? How did Arab people perceive
the 'barbaric' Christians? How was Science spread and how did the West
pick up knowledge form the Arabs or from further East? Europe and the
Islam are still not at peace, certainly not in the mind.

very intersting blog..
My name is Mark Johnson, and I've been visiting Think and Explain for past few months
I’m a recent UC Berkeley Political science grad and I along with some fellow Princeton alums have been working hard to launch our own internet startup called Rizzleweb.com.
Rizzleweb is basically an online political community where people can log on and write performance reviews\comments for congressmen, senators, the president, and various other local and state officials across the country. I was hoping that if it would not be too much trouble you could place a link of our site on your blog. If this is not possible (which we completely understand), we still hope you will check out our site, and post some reviews.
Your contribution will encourage us to put more effort in improving our website.
