A bunch of atoms that are curious about the world, but furious about the society. We should help all humans to have a decent life without any strings attached, so that we can understand us, the atoms, and the rest of the universe. And create a smarter and saner society.

Since 2005 I make documentaries, write books, and enable many trade-free platforms for everyone.

We stayed 2 weeks in this amazing place - videos.trom.tf/w/kcNRkY2NqSzuJ…

Peramola, Spain. A wonderful motorhome parking spot. Beautiful views, great mountains and hike trails around, quiet. Smells like shit, literally, but a wonderful place overall.

This video is also a testing for the new camera I (Tio) got, a DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Second hand, small and really good. Will replace my webcams too, not just my main camera.

It is a long video but we loved this place.

I am extremely proud of these books that I wrote (all are trade-free of course):

Language tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

Some 600 pages. I put so much effort into this wow....and the design, was really difficult to design a book about language. The subject was super complex but I am so so happy with how it ended up.

The Money Game and Beyond tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

370 p

I am extremely proud of these books that I wrote (all are trade-free of course):

Language tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

Some 600 pages. I put so much effort into this wow....and the design, was really difficult to design a book about language. The subject was super complex but I am so so happy with how it ended up.

The Money Game and Beyond tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

370 pages of understanding in detail how money came to be. I looked at so many isms that tried to organize our society. This was the bedrock of my understanding of our society.

The Origin of Most Problems tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

Over a THOUSAND pages long. Comic-book style design with superheroes and characters. By far the most difficult book I ever wrote or ever write probably. This made me have a complete understanding of what this global society is made of. I even created a mega search engine to showcase how a few companies own most stuff - unfortunately I had to discontinue it since it was impossible to update....but yah this book is the achievement of my life :D

The Evolution of Purpose and the Purpose of Evolution tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

This one is a unique book in terms of the subject. Also smaller than the rest around 70 pages. The title is the core of the book and the design was also difficult and unique.

Human Machine tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

Some 300 pages and still relevant today. I looked at how the machines humans invented stack against the human machine itself. Difficult book.

Earth tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

Some 200 pages of pure joy. This one I really loved writing and designing.

I wrote more see here - tromsite.com/trombooks/ and I would love to write more, even if I am sure today is nearly impossible to make anyone read them. People have no patience plus they use these tiny screens (phones) so reading them in this digital format heavily reliant on a landscape design....is a no no for most.

Sad. But maybe I will publish my next content in the same format if I won't be comfortable with making videos.

Anyway, thank you past me for spending so many years creating these. They are really valuable books and they completely changed the way I see the world.

@Tio

I have read "The Origin of most problems" book, and have read most of "The Money game and beyond" book but I unfortunately didn't finish it. Now I'm not much of a reader or anything, but both of those books were really fucking impressive and I remember feeling such joy and excitement reading those. I also read the "The ugliness of beauty" book which was a shorter one. I can only imagine the amount of effort you must've put into creating these books man, you not only had to research about these topics and write the books but you also designed them in such a beautiful manner. That is genuinely an achievement and something to be proud of 🙂

And personally I think perhaps I should start reading more books and such, there are some problems like my eye strain issues and such which hold me back but I realize that getting into a habit of reading will do me good long term.

And about the device.... I read these on an old tablet device that I had with a 10 inch 720p

Thank you so much man! Means a lot!

I would like to know what other format than video would be better suited for new TROM content? I understand that these books may be hard to read unless you do it on a laptop of decent screen. But on the other hand these books allow me to fully express myself via the design.

So tricky...

But if you have ideas let me know.

@Tio

Making video content would be an obvious choice these days but I understand it can be a lot of work. A middle ground between the two might be Audio books or a podcast style format, however this can be limiting if you wanna include some visuals. I think technically it's possible to include some attachments along with your audio but if your content is predominantly visual then yeah this might not be the best option.

BTW, I will also say that one other advantage of the podcast format in particular is that it's one of the only media that isn't controlled by a single big tech platform and their algorithms. I think Spotify and Apple podcasts have tried to make it their walled garden but failed, almost every podcast is available through RSS feeds even today.

For me podcasts do not work in terms of creating them. Maybe if you have a cool voice and clear, may be more interesting. But this is not for me. I am also a very visual person and the way I designed our books was a great way to express myself.

Will see....

@Tio I remember "The Money Game and Beyond" was my first book that I read and it changed my life basically! I had this thought of "If I were to write a book about the world, I would write it exactly like this!"
Amazing how you compress so much relevant knowledge into each of the books and I couldn't be happier to have translated most of them into german - it was a journey that I enjoyed so much 😊
Looking forward to new TROM content and materials however they might be 😉

I know everyone talks about the origin of most problems book but I feel like the money game and beyond book was just as good and eye opening. I honestly don't remember why I didn't finish reading that book, I think I had to stop due to exams or something - or else there's no way I'd stop reading something that captivating. I should probably go back and read these books sometime 🙂

@Rokosun @Tio yeah for sure, you should!
Especially since the last parts were so captivating for me.
First chapter is a summary about fucked up the past and our current world is and why, second chapter about different ideas that people proposed to create something better and how they did end up in the world.
Third chapter is about what really works and how we can "approach" this world - how to be scientific about the "disease" that exists in the world and "treat" "it". I love all parts and it is written so well :)

I think I have read most of the book already, because I remember the analogy using aging as a disease and comparing it with our society. Also one of the things that really impressed me in the book is how it answers a lot of the questions that would naturally arise in the readers mind, like how to handle scarce resources - the book talks about the example of organ donation and how that is distributed based on some ethical standards humans came up with.

Oh no, this is my home:

Ot this?

Or this:

Or anywhere I can go with the motorhome.

For the past year I've been living in a motorhome. And my life changed so much. At times I love it, at times I am stressed and tired. But overall I think is the best life I can afford to live in today's society. I will make a video about this and about many things for our RideWithLess Peertube channel videos.trom.tf/c/ridewithless/…

This is also the craziest road we have taken our motorhome on, some 1KM climb via a 12KM dirt road. But at the end of the road it was Paradise.

TOP 6 Places we visited in Spain with the motorhome! - videos.trom.tf/w/iuFvWGXte95Ne…

We discovered so many amazing nature places in Spain: caves, mountains, lakes, or deserts. We avoid being motorhome-tourists, following the same path as most people with motorhomes do. We avoid big cities and crowded places and often find nature places by simply exploring digital maps to find hidden gems.

Finally after months of wanting to do this , I did it. I organized my photos tiotrom.com/photos/ - added 130 more :) and added a description for them all. Useful I think. These are the most interesting, beautiful, and important photos I have taken.

I will share a handful here.

If you look closely you see the Andromeda Galaxy in this one:

Our Tortuga and the Universe:

I love the colors in this photo, it was a beautiful day (Sasha is the one jumping):

Caminito del Rey:

Tortuga and the Orion Belt:

One of the most amazing caves out there:

Just a lake but I love this photo:

We found a giant bench :)

Sunset in the mountains:

Cares trail in Picos de Europa, the most amazing hike:

Sotres, a super nice village on top of a mountain:

Also the most amazing lookout:

Around that area I took a photo of this baby horse and his mama:

And on top of Picos de Europa:

The ALIEN desert we visited:

And more.... :)

Memories. Wonderful places. And will create more such memories.

Bardenas Reales is a place in the north of Spain. A desert with odd shaped structures. I, Tio, saw these structures in a documentary with Brian Cox called Solar System - you can watch it here videoneat.com/documentaries/26… - so I looked for the place only to find out it is in Spain.

It is one of those unique places that you may never forged 😃.
