Australian, Engineer, Christian (mostly Anglican but also have been in Baptist and Charismatic/Pentecostal churches, honorary catholic occasionally in Spanish speaking places), work in construction. Keen to see Christianity impact the developing AI governance systems and coming technology changes. Fluent in Spanish, and in all English dialects of Christian-ese. Have enjoyed being on board for last few years. I want Christian Transhumanism to become more structured, and I want to use this election to promote the following: 1. A wiki of all our knowledge, discussions and commentary to guide people’s learning. 2. Hangouts – with attendees better curated than the ones Micah ran in the past so we get the right people who have the natural connections. It’s ok for USA residents but Australians can’t make it to meetups in Nashville. 3. Cross-cultural reaching out. I would like to connect with any Spanish-speaking similar groups. 4. That we should be non-political, and accept people of all political persuasions, even Trump supporters. (I’m not one). As Micah said we’re a center-defined group, not a boundary-defined group. My overarching desires for CT are to be: 1. A clear conduit for the transforming and relevant gospel to remain with humans into the future. 2. A well-thought out and intellectually tenable system of thought, building on what is a currently a bunch of eclecticism. 3. Powerfully linking our two arms to make a compelling pitch to all, be they christians, transhumanists or neither. 4. Salt and light to the secular transhumanist movement which is sadly lacking in grace and riven with factionalism and "too hard" topics no-one dare broach So please, vote for me. If successful, I will pursue the above two sets of 4 points from the board.
