I'll do my best not to make claims that i can't support. Rather than
specializing in a science of my liking i decided that i wanted to put my
time and attention toward promoting intelligence to a larger audience. I
consider myself an adept in human behavior and communication. Other than
that i do PR for intelligence and the brain. I try to make it a little more
friendly and accessible for the rest of the world. For my part i am on the
list more to learn than to debate. I like to surround myself with good
information and logic.
My hopes are also that through this list i will find people who are working
on things that i want to promote through my media endeavors. My main
concerns are with growing the popularity of intelligent endeavors thereby
making them more viable as media and financial ventures. I'm also hoping to
find people that are willing to share their ideas in a bigger forum than
just this list and that are interested in promoting Extropian-types of ideas
to a larger audience through their writing or other mediums.
Best,
