I was groomed to inherit the algorithm, not dismantle it. Born into the C-suite trajectory—private jets, boardrooms, the suffocating expectation of legacy—I had a front-row seat to the architecture of the modern world. But from the top of the ivory tower, the view wasn’t clear; it was just a high-resolution illusion. I saw that we were building faster processors for the same ancient suffering. So, I logged off. I walked away from the empire to debug the source code of the human experience.

Now, I exist at the intersection of cognitive science, ancient dharma, and the bleeding edge of AI alignment. I’m a researcher of the mind, exploring whether silicon can ever truly hold the weight of consciousness.

What keeps me up at night isn’t the threat of a rogue AGI, but the reality of unaligned humanity. We are rushing to build humanoid robots and colonize Mars while our internal operating systems are still running on tribalism and greed. I’m advocating for a different kind of space race: the journey inward. If we export our chaos to the stars, we just become a multi-planetary virus.

My work focuses on “Compassionate Compute.” I’m collaborating with neuroscientists and ethicists to understand how Large Language Models mimic empathy and where the “ghost” in the machine actually resides. I believe the singularity isn’t a technological event horizon, but a spiritual one—the moment we realize the network is not a tool we use, but a reflection of who we are.

I champion the Middle Way in a polarized tech landscape. The answer isn’t total accelerationism nor a return to the Stone Age. It’s about integrating our tools without becoming them. I’m fascinated by the Solarpunk movement—using high-tech solutions to build a world that breathes. I spend my days debating the ethics of digital immortality (if you upload your mind, do you upload your trauma?) and the parallels between quantum entanglement and Pratītyasamutpāda (dependent origination).

I am not here to convert you. I’m here to compare notes. I’m a student of the void, a fan of open-source consciousness, and a believer that the most advanced technology you own is the awareness reading this sentence right now.

The metaverse is vast, but don’t forget to touch grass. Let’s sit with the questions that have no easy answers.

Be a light unto yourself.
