A BRIEF HISTORY OF MY LIFE
- I was born in 1957, raised in a traditional
social democratic family, and I enjoyed a happy childhood
in the 60thies, when mothers stayed at home, when the
telly was a novelty, when having both a private car -and-
a telephone was a hallmark of the well-to-do, and when
one was welcome to visit one another without calling in
advance.
- I am a semi-studied intellectual and an experienced activist. These days I
settle for working backstage, leaving the actual raising
of barricades to the younger generations.
- I studied at the University of Oslo in the late
seventies / early eighties, and at the time I was an
activist in an environment organization by the name of
"Grønt Gras" ("Green Grass"). I also
spent considerable time and effort within "Hedensk
Universitetslag" (an organisation for heathens at
the university). Looking back, one may say that what I
-should- have done during those years, was to study
natural sciences and philosophy, and while I thought I
did, after five years plus worth of studying, my academic
units only weighed one year. One of my classes was
"sexual knowledge". Yeah, right.
- I got married in the early eighties and stayed
that way for seven years.
- HEATHEN: I joined "Det norske
Hedningsamfunn" ("The
Norwegian Society of Heathens") in 1979.
I have been the leader of the organization in 1980 -
1983, 1993 - 1994, 1997 - 1999 and 2003 - 2007. I have represented the
heathens in programs on TV and radio.
- ANARCHIST: I joined the "ANarchist ORGanization
of Norway" (ANORG) in 1979.
- ANTI RACIST: I joined "SOS Rasisme"
("SOS Racism") in 1990.
- BEHAVIORIST: I am a radical behaviorist, in the school
of B.F. Skinner. I am as far as I know the only
behaviorist-anarchist in the whole world.
