What I'm doing now
I'm working on Make Your Laws, a practical project to turn governments into liquid democracies.
I make CogSai - a YouTube series on cognitive science, help run the Language Creation Society, hack things, give talks, and occasionally consult.
I'm also involved in a couple actions against the TSA for their practice of violating the rights of disabled travelers.

- neural correlates of and methods to create high empathy
- mirror neurons

- contrastive neural correlates of different meditative techniques
- objective optimization of meditative techniques
- quales of consciousness proprioception
- practical AI
