“I read. The more you read, the more the world opens up to you... And the happier you are and more comforted you feel. It's up to you. No you is educated who cannot educate himself.”

Not going to make my reading goal this year. I'm reading so much less when I'm studying. A bit of a bummer but here we are #ReadingChallenge #ReadingBooks #Reading

If any of you want to do just one thing to make your life better - and improve the world - here's a very very simple thing you can do (and encourage those around you)... maybe, like me, some of you already do heaps of it... great, it appears we're on the right track: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=BV2PQjXbtXA or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV2PQjXbtXA It's its own reward. Best of all, if you have access to a public library, it's dirt cheap.

Is there anything more annoying than a book that uses different sizes font for different POVs or whatever? To all writers & book editors PLEASE JUST DON'T. It doesn't help for anything & really reduces the pleasure of reading

#introduction

I fight for the users.

I love programming and thinking and talking about thinking. I have an education (BS, MS, PhD) focused on artificial intelligence and neuroscience.

I'm an advocate of the public academic pursuit of knowledge, the scientific process, peer review, and I see open source software and hardware as an essential part of the scientific process.

I see software user rights, including security and privacy, to be protected mainly by free open source software, specifically software with a copyleft license, i.e. GPL or Mozilla.

I see the democratizing effects of the Internet, including distributed journalism and social networking, to be largely the effect of the collaborative development of free and open source software.

I am interested in free and open source manufacturing, including open source 3D printers and CNC machines. I believe open source manufacturing will be important for distributed manufacturing, allowing local manufacturing and local labor.

I see worker-owned coops as the way to safely transition from a non-democratic authoritarian top-down power structure of a traditional corporation to a democratic work environment, where the workers own the company and elect the board of directors, transitioning to democracy in the workplace.

I believe that socialism is a regulatory response to capitalism.

I believe that laws, money, corporations, and government are social agreements, and I'm in favor of democratic social agreements.

I believe in the organized non-violent boycott as a way to control capitalists and change corrupt systems.

I am a pacifist. I am against violence. I am against citizens keeping guns in cities and towns with children. I am against war.

I try to eat plant-based / vegan foods to boycott the animal industry, to help with the climate crisis, to improve my health, to avoid animal cruelty, and to avoid the extinction of species of plants, animals and ecosystems.

I have been diagnosed with Retinitus Pigmentosa, which is a disease of progressive retinal degeneration. I am legally blind, although I have about 5-degrees of vision remaining in my fovea. I'm interested in researching and developing BCIs (Brain-Computer Interfaces), specifically BCIs that function as vision prostheses that may help with conditions like RP, or the more common degenerative retinal disease AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).

I enjoy playing computer games like Age of Empires and Rimworld. I used to program computer games when I was younger and would like to get back to it one day.

I love playing music, especially bass guitar. I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against the Machine and Enya recently.

I enjoy reading books, mostly non-fiction.

I enjoy studying religions. I've found a lot of value in Buddhism, and I meditate often daily.

Nina and I have recently had our first baby, a boy we call Tyoma.

I'm currently working at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc. on FOSH assistive consumer electronics.

I'm sober.
