Hi, Everybody, Manu invited me to join this list after I wrote him with ideas about alternative currency and crowdfunding for PaySwarm. (see new threads soon.) Thanks, Manu! My dad transmitted to me an interest--later fueled by my anarcho-capitalism--in monetary theory, specifically, alternative currencies and methods of payment and funding. A strict monetarist, I see little future in: - monopolized currency - the global corporatism that depends on it - state-enforced intellectual property I am not a programmer, but an independent investigator in: - philosophy (realism, from Objectivism to Tantric Hinduism to animism) - health (Natural Hygiene) - design (organic and dymaxion, material and conceptual) My main work for three years has been experimenting with the use of darkness retreats to heal from civilized (functional) psychosis, caused by catastrophic psychic injury. Suffering from this myself in the form of exhaustion-depression, I am looking for ways to be useful while finding a way out of my predicament. Glad to be here. Realizing that the discussion here is often technical, I'll reserve my comments to issues of design and philosophy where it seems it could help. I'm glad to be here. Sincerely, Andrew -- independent researcher in philosophy, health, & design the darkness conjecture — http://andrewdurham.com 541.210.8470 vm
