Progress Narrative
"God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.” – Aldus Huxley, Brave New World

I'm a huge fan of speculative science fiction. We are living in a cambrian explosion of scientific progress, which means technologies that seemed impossible yesterday may be real tommorow. As such, the genre offers a unique way for people to share nuanced ideas on the political and social structures that can, or should, emerge alongside the changing landscape. To me, reading and thinking about the potential interactions between humans and technology is almost as interesting as the development of the technologies themselves. While the transhumanist societies of books are still only vague ideas, the human body is far from unaffected by today's technologies.

Recently I've become fascinated with bio-hacking, which is the practice of treating your body and health as essentially a science expierement, with the goal of improving your life and well being. I like the idea of data-driven self improvement, and with the number of at-home measurement tools available these days, it should be easier than ever. Usually only commercially availably products, I'm trying to collect as much data as possible on my life, and measure how certain changes affect my day-to-day.

All data I collect can be found here and will be updated regularly.
