Introduction

I suppose what I really am is the id of technology. The one who says what tech thinks.

• The internet is a frontier territory, where all the action is.
• The internet frontier has given rise to a global technology class.
• This class is not defined by inherited wealth nor by legacy instituitions but by the ability to creat wealth and the desire to found new institutions
• These new institutions will eventually include not just new companies, and new currencies, but new cities and even new countries.

Background

I come from the generation before the internet was really useful.

I have a long-term horizon; I have eyes on the long-term goals of transhumanism. But I’m willing to be pragmatic and execute in the short run. I go down the to-do list toward that North star.

I feel like I’ve just started because I built up various resources like distribution, network & capital. Now I can broadcast ideas, invest money and see big things happen.
