About this blog

For lack of a better place, I use this blog to write down some ideas about current events and as a forum to use in order to keep in touch with friends. I use it as a record of what happened, how I looked at it, what I inferred would happen and what my friends made of all this. I also hope that this blog will help me understand some of the complexities of an increasingly economically integrated world, the need for global governance and whether the EU is a desirable model. This is why it's called rebuilding Babel, as a reminder to put things into a larger perspective, and see what can be done and what is being done to bridge the gaps between cultures, societies and polities. Obviously the blog is not restricted to Europe, and the EU is just a model, as I hoped the title would imply.

The main idea was for me to use this as a way to ventilate my thoughts so that they wouldn't take over my conversations with the rest of the world. Thinking I would not appreciate to be exposed to extensive and unrequested verbosity, I decided it was only fair to save others from mine. The result is this blog: an outlet for my (and your) restlessness and a channel for these thoughts, that does not arbitrarily and constantly annoy other uninterested people.

... it's therapeutical that way!
