The Conquest of the Future

Nothing is impossible,
because the dreams of yesterday
are the hopes of today
and the reality's of tomorrow

Philosophy

As an atheist, I follow a rational philosophy that employs reason as the way to solve problems. Like I think everyone else should, I value my existence and my life, somewhat in line with objectivism. I'm also a scientist, and I think a lot about the positive and negative impact science and technology can have on humankind.

Below are essays I've written on a variety of philosophical topics. I hope they'll make you think about what you are, life, the world, the human species, and the future.

Science and Technology

As a scientist, I constantly want to know more about the world, about the universe and, most of all, about humans and about myself. I also think we scientists must work towards educating the public regarding emerging technologies such as cloning and stem cells, and genetics. Here you will find essays on different technologies, their potential and their problems, and a vision of the future as science and technology continue their relentless progress.


Thank you for visiting my website. I believe cooperation and networking are essential for success, so please feel free to contact me.
