Interests & Intellectual Curiosity

Interests & Intellectual Curiosity

The hobbies that drive me.

Intellectual Exploration

I use literature, philosophy, economics, and modern thought to sharpen judgment and understand human behavior and systems. Recent anchors include Crime and Punishment, The Stranger, The Fall, Memoirs of Hadrian, Paris est une fete, Civilisation and Its Discontents, The Man Who Solved the Market, The World After 1945, Wikinomics, The Value Sphere, Les Grands Auteurs de l’economie, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century.

Discipline & Performance

I see a direct parallel between physical and mental discipline: long-term consistency, controlled exposure to stress, and compounding outcomes through repetition. This is why I enjoy sports so much, particularly running and going to the gym. I also have a Judo brown belt and recently reached a 59 Vo2 Max.

Multilingual Perspective

Fluent in French, English, and Polish, with academic exposure to German and Spanish. I view languages as a practical way to engage ideas across cultures and market contexts, sharpening adaptability and global awareness.

Writing as a Tool for Thinking

I rely on writing to clarify judgment and pressure-test assumptions through research papers, investment theses, and structured analysis. For me, writing converts complexity into clarity and reinforces intellectual honesty.
