I'm always curious about such a person's financials. He seems to be able to purely follow his passion, but maybe that's not true, it's not really mentioned anywhere. It looks like it must come with a frugal life style. Still I love it that it is possible to live like this.

- louwrentius 2y agoI don't know his financials, but in The Netherlands, we have a culture that values a balance between work and personal time. In the USA, people seem to live to work. In The Netherlands, we work to live.
- teekert 2y agoYeah you're right, and between care subsidies, rent subsidies, our progressive tax model and "bijstand" (almost like universal income, but you need to apply for jobs unless you have a good reason not to), and living in the social rent system (or better, have a house that is paid off somehow), you can come by on almost nothing indeed.
- louwrentius 2y agoThat’s a total caricature of our society, try again.
- teekert 2y agoIt's a theory for how Theo could devote most of his time to his passion and still live.
