Hartz 5 is a socio-economic experiment. The idea is simple: Nominate a person you like. It should be a person who spends too much time on money jobs and pledge one Euro to this person monthly. On a customised website you can explain why this person deserves this extra money. Imagine 100 people pledging you one Euro monthly; this probably wouldn't just change your financial situation, but also your self confidence. Now imagine 1,000 people or more pledging you one Euro. Important detail: There are no conditions. I guarantee you, people who get money unconditionally from a crowd will rethink the way they live and work. Hopefully they will spend more time and creativity on karma work and less on silly works.

A job which you do not for money but for good karma. It doesn't necessarily mean a social job such as helping the homeless. It can be anything. It's important that you feel it improves the karma not just for you, but also for the people and environment around you.

I have been spending a lot of time with my son and experimenting on different spark-ups.

It's like a start-up, the only difference is I am totally fine with creating ideas that I don't have the ambition to realise. The education projects Hartz IV Möbel, www.dclass.de and www.openschoool.org are such spark-ups. I try to inspire people to get into motion.

Often I post a crazy idea on my Facebook page www.facebook.com/buildmorebuyless and wait for reaction. Recently I have posted a book by Ahmad Milad Karimi and said I would like to make a film about it and then 3 months later we did it. The film is called #3min Of Fame, Love and Peace and will be presented in November at the Reflecta Filmfestival in Frankfurt.

I always wanted to get suited up in red and blue and hunt super villains like Spiderman does. Today I do not hunt anybody, but I mostly wear red sneakers and blue jeans.
