Revision as of 13:37, 15 July 2015
Welcome to SkyrienWiki! I am @skyrien, and this is my online knowledge base. Over the course of time, I hope to turn this into something useful, or at least, something uniquely interesting.
This wiki serves three main functions:
- Online directory and reference for all public components of skyrien.com
- Presentation and discussion of my worldview and experiences
- Flatter representation of and repository for my blog
One day, I imagine it will have lots of content, but for now, it's just a few pages.
Topics
I wrote in doing a reboot of my blog that I would likely write about special topics, or "things that matter". I'd also like to consider it a key life goal to contribute my time and abilities to these causes.
Civilization engineering (more)
In the 2014 movie Interstellar, there's a line that any fan of sci-fi would understand, that in thinking about the impact of our lives, "We must reach far beyond our own lifespans. We must think not as individuals but as a species." This speaks to the reality that is the project of human civilization. That our generation today, entrusted the world, lives on the edge of humanity's arc through time implies a great deal of responsibility and significance to our individual finite lives.
Projects I'm working on (more)
I have the luxury of being able to work on a number of fun and exciting projects of my personal choosing. I'm trying to develop a number of hobbies and skills, for personal and professional use, and will often do so under the confines of a project. I'll try to list some here that I feel may be useful or interesting.
Beyond the above, a general index of topics can be accessed via the following pages (eventually)::
general reference | musings on existence | future-orientation | civilization | culture | trends | sustainable development | environmental policy | space science | politics | international relations | democratic development | american foreign policy | defense | robotics | space | intelligence | neuroscience | ai | autobiographical content
Disclaimers
Be advised, this is my first wiki. As such, I'm still developing a sense for the ideal presentation of content. The content is not tailored for any specific audience, but I write from a US perspective, which Pew's survey suggest that I'm most like the next-generation left, but I wouldn't rely on surveys to define a person. I advocate for the advancement of humanity :).
