New article out on some of my work and likely ambitions (bearing in mind I'm currently running for CA Gov now), but what's really interesting is that some people are noticing that I support enlarging the non-aggression principle to include aging, disease, and other harmful phenomena (something I wrote extensively about in 2017 and an idea that I consider at the core of #transhumanism and morphological freedom--the right to do to your body what you want so long as it doesn't hurth someoone else): https://libertarianvindicator.com/201...

As a last social media release looking back at 2017, I was excited to have this feature about my #transhumanism work and libertarian gubernatorial campaign appear in The Times of London (Saturday Magazine), one of the major papers of Europe. A version of the story had the great luck to also be picked up by a number of other major magazines around the world, including the South China Morning Post Sunday Magazine, Hong Kong's paper of record. The art work and photography for the various versions was really cool to be involved in! http://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-ma... & https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/zo...

Jacque passed away this year at age 101, but I was honored to have made this small film about his 80+ years of futurist work: https://www.facebook.com/NowThisFutur...

I wrote about a dozen stories this year, but this one caused quite a raucous, as it forced conservatives to face the specter of #transhumanism in their own worlds--like it or not. There were a number of commentary pieces about this article: http://www.thea

I'm going to be doing a bit of recap of 2017 for the next 2 days, and I'd say the most read story I was involved in this year was this The New York Times Magazine feature on my Immortality Bus and #transhumanism work: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/09/mag

I get a mention in this The Baffler story, which doesn't seem very nice to the tech industry. I support tech industry spreading across the heartland, which in my opinion would be very good for America. Nothing is perfect people, but a positive direction is
