Johnny thinks a lot about how attention works on the internet. Having started programming in elementary
|
|
school, he became infatuated with how we communicate with and through computers. Eventually, he did
|
|
a Ph.D. studying belief systems computationally. Immediately afterwards he left academia, intent on
|
|
putting what he learned into practice.
|
|
|
|
Johnny cares about the systems we inhabit -- how they allow us to exchange ideas and find each other.
|
|
In short, he's motivated by the premise that we can "engineer the noosphere." The internet and
|
|
everything after is still in early development! Given that he believes censorship-resistance is a
|
|
long-term evolutionary pressure, it doesn't make sense to work on a platform that doesn't treat it as a given. |
