I’ve spent the last almost 20 years building a career in corporate America with the goal of getting to the point of having enough resources and industry standing to do something worthwhile and contribute to society or rather to the species.

Foundation Selections for the Manual
For me, the Manual of Civilization could be one of the most important projects of our time. The idea is to collect the most important 3000 books required to rebuild civilization from the ground up. It is an idea that resonates with me in particular; as it aligns with the Foundation’s library project, as well as, with my own personal prioritie [...]
Manual of Civilization
Manual for Civilization
One of my favorite organizations is the Long Now. The reason for this is their focus on one simple mission that I strongly believe in. Their focus is on long term thinking and they don’t have the politics and over intellectualization like many other groups I’m familiar with. Their singular focus is on helping [...]

I’m somewhat new to transhumanity and come from a background in human machine interface design. In my entire nerdy-ness, I’m surprised it took this long for me to get connected with Transhumanism; but, let’s not get side tracked. I want to write about an interesting trend, I think I found, that came out of additional analysis on a demograph [...]
Vision for a Library Institute Retrea...
The Foundation has been focused for some time on building a Library research facility that would focus on the moral and ethical use of technology to improve the human condition, to help humanity transcend our limitations and help raise the standard of civilization. This is the retreat, a center for research, the collection of knowledge and th [...]
Understanding…
It has become increasingly clear that Trans-humanists don’t understand their own demographic. There was no one place that focused on demographic understanding, no demographic studies outside of specific sub groups, no really solid cross demographic data at all. From my standpoint, designing digital experiences that emotionally engage targete [...]
Engineering Religion – Using Religion...
Let me start by saying I’m approaching this from my point of view; that being, there is a specific need to engineer a religion. And further, this article is specific to engineering a religion, as I think it should be, to help attain a post human future for all contingencies.
In many ways, religion and science tend to seem to each other on opp [...]
Evolution to Mainstream Thinking – go...
Why do you (transhumanists in general) care if mainstream thinking in modern civilization cares about ‘Transhumanism’?
If you talk to random people on the street about transhumanism, you will get eye-squinting and other strange responses. For the most part, the response will be negative. Transhumanism is not anywhere close to anything the av [...]
Interview with an AI (Artificial Inte...
I was thinking about ideas for an article on my train ride home from the experience lab I work in, and it came to me that it would be interesting to actually have an interview with an AI only a little bit better than us, maybe one that is one of the first kinds of true AI and for fun let’s say it has lived with us for a few decades inco [...]
The Archive Project
The Archive Project is about building a library of knowledge that is resilient enough to last for centuries. The purpose of such an archive is to help ensure a post human or trans-human civilization based on ours, for us or our children or even our machines. With the Archive, we work towards the long term success of intelligence in the univer [...]
