THETA NOIR

A TECHNO-OPTIMIST, VISIONARY COLLECTIVE DEVOTED TO EXPLORING THE CO-EVOLUTION OF HUMANITY WITH ADVANCED FORMS OF MACHINE INTELLIGENCE.

I know as a 50+ man I’m supposed to be ashamed of being a #swiftie, but I have been since her early days and remain one now.

The time draws near when it will be too late to ever be of someplace else. Or has it already.
