@Radical_EgoCom @breadandcircuses

A plan needs steps. Steps are discrete.

I am inspired by Richard Woolf's lectures and "Democracy at Work" movement.

His plan gives some concrete steps for how to move toward changing traditional authoritarian capitalist controlled corporations to democratic worker-owned corporate structures.

Again, these non-utopian steps toward democratic power structures must exist within a capitalist system,, at least for the time being.

Saying that we should get rid of capitalism, or "capitalism is bad", is not a realistic first step. That would be utopian because it wouldn't make sense as a first step.

Stumbled across this paper today looking for libraries run as Worker Self Directed Enterprizes / co-ops to see what models are out there: https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2020/the-library-commons/

It's really really worth the read.

R to @WorkersEESC: It is a fact that in times of crisis workers need security and they have it if they have strong workers' representatives at the work place and collective agreements; this contributes to our political democracy. Reiner Hoffman #democracyatwork

R to @WorkersEESC: Capital is still regarded as more important than the rights of workers and social security.
Ensuring that #democracyatwork can become a standard is something we need to fight for. Strengthening legislation and #collectivebargaining is crucial, Andrej Zorko

#introduction

I fight for the users.

I love programming and thinking and talking about thinking. I have an education (BS, MS, PhD) focused on artificial intelligence and neuroscience.

I'm an advocate of the public academic pursuit of knowledge, the scientific process, peer review, and I see open source software and hardware as an essential part of the scientific process.

I see software user rights, including security and privacy, to be protected mainly by free open source software, specifically software with a copyleft license, i.e. GPL or Mozilla.

I see the democratizing effects of the Internet, including distributed journalism and social networking, to be largely the effect of the collaborative development of free and open source software.

I am interested in free and open source manufacturing, including open source 3D printers and CNC machines. I believe open source manufacturing will be important for distributed manufacturing, allowing local manufacturing and local labor.

I see worker-owned coops as the way to safely transition from a non-democratic authoritarian top-down power structure of a traditional corporation to a democratic work environment, where the workers own the company and elect the board of directors, transitioning to democracy in the workplace.

I believe that socialism is a regulatory response to capitalism.

I believe that laws, money, corporations, and government are social agreements, and I'm in favor of democratic social agreements.

I believe in the organized non-violent boycott as a way to control capitalists and change corrupt systems.

I am a pacifist. I am against violence. I am against citizens keeping guns in cities and towns with children. I am against war.

I try to eat plant-based / vegan foods to boycott the animal industry, to help with the climate crisis, to improve my health, to avoid animal cruelty, and to avoid the extinction of species of plants, animals and ecosystems.

I have been diagnosed with Retinitus Pigmentosa, which is a disease of progressive retinal degeneration. I am legally blind, although I have about 5-degrees of vision remaining in my fovea. I'm interested in researching and developing BCIs (Brain-Computer Interfaces), specifically BCIs that function as vision prostheses that may help with conditions like RP, or the more common degenerative retinal disease AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).

I enjoy playing computer games like Age of Empires and Rimworld. I used to program computer games when I was younger and would like to get back to it one day.

I love playing music, especially bass guitar. I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against the Machine and Enya recently.

I enjoy reading books, mostly non-fiction.

I enjoy studying religions. I've found a lot of value in Buddhism, and I meditate often daily.

Nina and I have recently had our first baby, a boy we call Tyoma.

I'm currently working at Apple on the Vision Pro headset team.

I'm sober.
