Andreas Botur while homeless, hungry, thirsty, tired, and thinking about serving humanity

When I was 24 and I had one semester left in my undergraduate education at Cornell University I embarked on an ascetic journey of homelessness to pull my consciousness out of the comfort it had known to see if I could stretch it into a mind that would be able to solve the problems facing the world relevant to my formal education.

The hunger I felt while homeless, relying on garbage as my primary source of sustenance, and the kind of thinking I had to do everyday to survive branded me with a burning desire to fix the world systems that harbor the energetic vacuums that lead to worldwide hunger. As well as the many other Sustainable Development Goals I found myself suddenly without, for me and for others. Housing for women at risk is important to me but I digress.

Once I ended my asceticism and was out of critical danger for the pellagra I contracted on the street the idea for this website came to me. I have been poking at it for the past two years. I am committed to writing a complete first draft for this website during 2026.
