I am presently trying to think long thoughts, write and give some lectures. About mye earlier life: I have mainly worked as a founder and leader of several organizations and projects. When I was knighted by the King of Norway in the first Order of St.Olaf I was called "an inventor in civil society". My education has been within agriculture, statistics, religion, intellectual history, mass media and with a Doctors degree (Magistergrad) in Sociology on Vulnerability to Famine and Preparedness Systems (which I later used when I coordinated the writing of a National Disaster Preparedness Plan for the Ethiopian Government). I have also written eight non-fiction books on quite different themes,
Listed skills include Conflict Management, Public Speaking, Non Governmental Organizations, Policy Analysis, and 21 others.
