I have always been a thinker/writer. Media selection was always a secondary consideration with the idea, then as now, remaining paramount.

Over my career, I have gained fluency across diverse technologies of expression. From my first job as a clothing designer, where I picked up computer-aided design, web development, animation, imaging, and print processes—to my next post as a commercial editor at Radical Media, where I added the dimension of time to the 3D design principles I'd learned. Software and hardware became second nature. Despite all of these revolutions, my basic mission and orientation never wavered. I continue to seek Truth and to communicate it across media, to as broad an audience as possible.

Regarding AI, I am of two minds: the top down strategies of Big AI have proven to be destabilizing, anti-human, rapacious, and usurping of natural resources, built largely on wholesale theft of human IP representing the life's work of millions. Yet the technology itself is paradigmatic, and has brought dead databases of old, exotic, rarefied, high-quality information from every point in history, and every point on the globe into daily life and utility and made it simple and accessible to all, much as Google did for the Internet in the late 90s. To ignore it would be irresponsible and imprudent. Now more than ever, in order to change the system, we must first master it.
