Yes, this page is in Notion. Yes, it's text heavy. There's links below. If text heavy is a problem; you're ngmi.
💭 I think about humanity, technology, and capital.
🦕 I live in The Future. So do you.
🧡 My work is my purpose, and it's to help us navigate acceleration
⛵️ When I'm not doing that, I'm having about as much fun as humanly possible.
🎓 By training, I'm a computational neuroscientist.
🤓 You can find my publications on brain mapping and behavioral engineering.
📣 and my work in the press every now and again.
This often includes a blend of:
HUMANITY
EMPATHY.
CULTURE.
ROCK AND ROLL.
THE SAPIR-WHORF HYPOTHESIS.
GENTLENESS.
MEMETICS (AND DANK MEMES).
CONSTRUCTED SOCIAL REALITY.
INCLUSION.
HUMANISM.
SEXUALITY.
HUMAN RIGHTS.
HYPERSTITION.
PLAY.
(DE-)TERRITORIALIZATION.
DELEUZE & GUATTARI.
TECHNOLOGY
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
AI RESILIENCE AND EXISTENTIAL RISK.
DIGITAL THERAPEUTICS.
VIRTUAL REALITY.
TRANSHUMANISM.
BIOREMEDIATION.
DECARBONIZATION.
SOLARPUNK.
LEFT-WING ACCELERATIONISM.
THE AI ALIGNMENT PROBLEM.
HYPERSTITION.
THE FUTURE.
LONG-TERM PLANNING.
CYBERNETICS (YES, I MEAN NORBERT WEINER CYBERNETICS).
CAPITAL
VENTURE CAPITAL.
DECENTRALIZATION.
HYPERREALITY.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.
POST-CAPITALISM.
FALGSC.
HYPERSTITION.
HEGEMONY.
COUNTERHEGEMONY.
Why these? Well, they seem like the only things really worth thinking about. We have a narrow window of time left to take global biosphere collapse seriously enough to operationalize hundreds of thousands of people to act immediately. (Yes, everyone's allowed to do one last dab before we put the creator economy to rest, but we do need to incentivize people to get back to solving things that matter. Yes, we're still allowed to shitpoast in the future. Encouraged, even! There just has to be a future there first.)
But really; after a few decades of thinking about technology and its impact on capital and humanity, these ideas are some combination of the thinking tools I've come to wield, and the concepts that - should we get them right - will have the greatest disproportionate impact on helping civilization successfully navigate the next chapter of the human experiment. I think about these because we must, if we are to figure out our way forward.
