Chris Christodoulou's Linkedin Analytics

I've worked in public/private software development (B.Eng) for over twenty years, including helping grow Vena Solutions from inception. During my career, I constantly reminded myself that my efforts weren't doing anything to protect the natural world and consisted mainly of negative externalities. Since 2022 I've been studying systems thinking and ecological overshoot to better understand how to address the human behavioral crisis driving biosphere collapse. I've now absorbed enough of the problem set and I'm devoting my efforts to help move the needle toward more desirable outcomes. Some tech/software stuff I'm good at: - thinking way outside the box - mentoring junior devs - going "meta" via reactive, aspect, functional, object-oriented, code-generation, etc - simplifying/compacting code and reducing entropy while adding abstraction power - optimizing low-level performance - making software more creative for both developers and end-users with ideals like the following talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUv66718DII I'm also working to de-complect software development[1] via my ongoing visual computation R&D https://kriteris.com/ It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society. ―Jiddu Krishnamurti "It should not be difficult because all one needs is a consistent ethic of life, which emerges from wanting life to continue. This ethic is so obvious and basic that we might expect it to occur on any life bearing planet in the universe, once a species became self-aware enough of the arc of their history. So here's a draft life ethic and maybe a necessity. Life existing is preferable to no life existing. More kinds of life existing is preferable to fewer. Vibrant, complex ecosystems are preferable to small, fragmented, brittle ecosystems. Ecosystems with large complex life, like elephants and whales and humans are preferable to ecosystems with only microscopic life. Ecosystem supporting conscious minds, the virtual worlds in human minds, or a gorillas or crows or dolphins, are preferable to ecosystems without them. It is preferable to maximize existence, happiness, love, and understanding and minimize the suffering of minds in the universe. The future both near and far is real, in the same sense that now is real and via causality, is determined by what is done now. Things which are preferable by this definition may be considered good, things which are less preferable may be considered evil. We should maximize good and minimize evil, since the universe does not.
