Author, writer, software engineer.

Systems-oriented neo-generalist focused on coherence, legitimacy, and real-world consequences.

I like being wrong because it means I learned something.

Privacy advocate · human rights advocate · sensible technology advocate.

Politics left to the experts; my views are grounded in systems coherence.

They scale.

Style suggestion: if you want to critique AI and it's impact on the planet, maybe don't use ai to generate images.

Maybe just go outside and take a picture of something you think is great about the world.

Bring your outside world to the inner world of others.

Just a thought. 🙃
