That was a lot of fun! Here’s my presentation to the Free Software Foundation at this year’s LibrePlanet conference. The audio, it seems, was being picked up by the wrong microphone, so I’ve plans to re-work and expand the topic in a series of videos, having benefited from a lot of helpful feedback and criticism. So keep your eye on this space, follow me on Twitter or YouTube, and buckle up for a content-ful 2022! 😀
Welcome to my Website
Hello World! My concerns, fellow netizens, are about how cyberspace has affected our sense of embodiment and existence in our physical world. I study and tutor on Marshall McLuhan, and develop my ideas in what I am calling a Full Stack Media Ecology.
My earnest questioning began in 2014. Answers finally manifested in 2017 with my video documentary series Silicon & Charybdis.
In March 2024 I released a book-length culmination of my work the past decade titled Cheating at Peekaboo Against a Bad Faith Adversary detailing how the work of Jean Piaget was used to hijack early childhood development in kids like TempleOS creator Terry A. Davis.
Read more about the complementarity between media ecology and developmental psychology here in Who You Callin’ a Robot?
In June of 2019 I “Toppled the Pillars of Cyberspace” in Toronto at the 20th Annual Media Ecology Association Convention. Watch or read my presentation and paper to get to know more about how this all started.
I’ve also presented twice at LibrePlanet for the Free Software Foundation. My 2023 talk on the Long History of Metrics Before and After Cybernetics presents a sprawling overview of how mechanical calculation and optimization took over our world, inspired by Marshall McLuhan.
There is lots more to discover on this site and on my YouTube channel!
I write about my recovery from psychosis in a separate blog called Less Mad. More on that here.
