Okay Here Goes...
Aloha!
Today represents my very 1st day using the Steemit platform. I've know about it for a million years and I love the idea of it but just never got off my lazy ass to do anything about it. Steemit rules... a truly decentralized platform for people to have their voices heard without censorship ticks all my boxes.
Me
I'm not a blogger. I don't particularly like social media in general. I think that what the majority of social media platforms (lookin at you FB...) takes away from us is so much greater than what it gives back.
I would describe myself (generously) as a 'Generalized Futurist' with a slight but unmistakable 'tin-foil-hat' worldview.
I spend too much time researching things I find interesting. Usually that involves cool future shit...things related to technologies and trends that are or will be paradigm shifting over the next 20 - 25 years.
Get to the Point Already!
This is my first little experiment. It's (hopefully) going to solve a few issues I have and answer a few questions.
- I want to get over my crippling fear of 'your not writing about the right stuff..' and just get something out to the wold.
- I want to see if and what kind of response this article illicits...
- I'd like to get some early feedback on the kind of things people in the community want to talk about. (...you know, so I can write about em)
What I'm Gonna Cover
- Cryptos / Blockchain (I know, it's being done to death but I think I can offer a different perspective from what's out there now)
- Longevity - I'm convinced that we as a species is approaching Longevity Escape Velocity LEV and we need to be aware of and ready for it when that happens.
- Space - Yeah, we're going there again. It's happening (or happened already...depending on who you talk to... sorry my tin-foil-hat is showing a bit there)
- AI - Elon doesn't like it. Stephen doesn't like it...but since we all work for Roko this is just me doing my part.
- All that other tin-foil-hat stuff I feel like people should know about but don't. (DID YOU KNOW THERE'S A HOLE IN THE ANTARCTIC THAT....oh wait. Sorry, got a bit excited there...not till the second date.)
So say hey, let me know if there's anything you'd like covered and gimme a follow to keep up with the great success (or catastrophic failure) of this little blogging experiment. Win or lose, it's gonna be fun-on-a-bun!
