Toward a New Democratic Paradigm: Aging, Power, and the Future of Civilization I identify as a radical democrat—not in the ideological caricature, but in the sense that I believe in expanding rights, participation, and meaningful agency for all people. Democracy, to me, is not merely a voting ritual but a societal framework where no one…

Thoughts on the end of aging
(Source) I. Today at age 65, the Dutch can expect to live another 20 years. In the year 2060, Dutch 65 year olds can expect to live another 25 years, according to predictions by the Dutch government. Those predictions made by the Dutch government however, have a history of being too conversative. Here’s a graph…
Well-known Transhumanists disappears, possible black-ops CIA rendition
I am informing everyone of the mysterious disappearance of Arjen Kamphuis in Norway. Arjen has been active in the left leaning, anti-establishment thinking side of transhumanism. His possible appearance is treated seriously by Wikileaks, of which he was a consultant. I consider Arjen a friend and someone I greatly admire. There’s a distinctive possibility he…
The Break-Even Point of Automating Tax Evasion and White Collar Crime Capture
Right now the vast majority of types of tax evasion, tax avoidance and tax fraud are not caught in the developed world.

Intentionally Creating The Most Evil A.I. Possible
There’s a chance the world’s elites will create the most irreversible and disparate future imaginable. One against which protest and revolt is impossible, one that’ll last forever, one where the rich are immortal and beneficiaries of transhuman technology – and where the rest of 99% or so humanity have to worry about getting their daily…
We need to start discussing maximum incomes
This is not working. We need rational boundaries. And yes, those who do not to pay 100% taxes above a certain level should feel encouraged to go live somewhere else. . How much would be enough, for everyone? That’s the simple question that so far lies outside the Overton Window. Few people have given this…
