About Josh Alfred

About Author, blogger, philosopher, cognitive science theorist.

Age: 32, male.

Education: Autodidact.

My underlying enthusiastic curiosity in life comes from integrated or holistic models for the sciences and arts. I like to see the world as some bigger organism, integrating the parts, as I would a puzzle. Most notably I am inspired by Ken Wilber and Lovelock in this matter.

I am a concerned transhumanist, who advocates government regulation over AI. My favorite book series is "Dune", an epic space-opera. It includes the existence of supreme forms of AI. I have a liking to these type of fictions using them to infuse my curiosities and thereof my philosophies.

Politically, I am a democrat and I am most immediately a social-capitalist. I accept free market competition while pointedly accepting that there need to be regulations over wealth, and investments of the federal banking system into things like infrastructure. See: Mixed Economics.

Religiously, I am a Human.

I am grateful for any work views and discussions you have to present.

Thanks.
