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.
Civilization engineering (more)
A general index of topics can be accessed via the following pages (eventually). I'll expound them as ideas develop. In no particular order:
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.
As an extension of my blog, I expect this wiki's style to take on an opinionated, personal flavor, so please be aware that (most) of these views are solely my own, and not representative of their topic or any other formal affiliation. Though I strive for correctness, given that I am my own editor, the presence of errors is not impossible, and I make no guarantees of the accuracy of anything written here. For any business requiring anything more than my personal form of truthiness, I recommend conducting your own fact-checking. After all, this is the internet. :)
