All, as a further introduction…



When I first looked up ‘extropian’ years ago, I thought, “that’s me!” I had always been introspective and would ponder why things are the way they are and why they are not better. I started exploring Eastern philosophies, read some sci-fi, looked at some writings of Nietzsche and thought of our continuing technological advances and thought, ‘the answers are all here’—some covered in dogma and corrupted or mistranslated or misunderstood or resisted, but the they are all here. So now, my external purpose is to in some way, even a small incremental way, to help move the human world onto a more sustainable and just path (just for all life).



I’m working on my first book, sort of a Rainforest-meets-advanced aliens with a scientist hero, indefinite lifespans, a sister-world where residents grow blank-brain clones for transferring their consciousness to every few decades (and enjoy whatever genetic enhancements they choose which have been recently developed). It is a sort of save-the-world book in which I’ve woven a set of principles which I believe, if followed, would end all war.



I am also a tropical rainforest conservationist and advocate, a ‘haunter of forests’ or ‘nemophilist’.



Well, that’s all for now (sorry, you asked for it…) ��
