I I believe that I am a unique collection of patterns, no more unique than anyone else. Those patterns are either genes, in the genetic sense, or cultural memes, as described by Richard Dawkins in his book "The Selfish Gene". I also believe that I am, i.e. I am self aware as the result of a strange loop, as described by Douglas Hofstadter in "I Am A Strange Loop".
Here's a list of some of these patterns:
- I am 40 year old man, son of Ernst and Marion von Holzen.
- I am the partner of my lovely friend Laurie Kavanagh.
- I am a software developer with a Master of Computer Science from the Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland.
- I am an information technology consultant.
- I am a drummer, an electronic music DJ, a volleyball player and a snowboarder.
- I am a resident of Ballard.
- I am a Swiss citizen.
