About Me:

I'm a genuine, caring, empathetic, fun/funny, creative, outgoing and intellectual person. I love family, friends, spending time with good people, learning, philosophising, games, sports, arts, food, science/technology/innovation, nature and Hashem (G-d). I'm passionate about leveraging science/technology/innovation for the purpose of driving a better future for humanity. Inspired by the principles of Effective Altruism, I believe we can utilize our capacities to address the world's most pressing problems and create a more equitable and sustainable future for all.

I believe in a future where humanity thrives, a future where every person has a voice and a stake in our shared destiny. This future requires all of us, each and every individual, to embrace our power to make a difference. By working together, guided by shared values and a commitment to progress, we can shape a world where our collective destiny is one of flourishing.

My faith is a deep source of inspiration, guiding my belief in a better world and motivating me to work towards what could be a Utopian future (Tikkun Olam). In Jewish tradition, this ideal future is often referred to as Olam Ha-Ba (The World to Come), a time of peace, justice, and universal flourishing. This era is associated with the arrival of the Moshiach, a messianic figure who will usher in an era of transformation, global enlightenment and collective elevation. I see a profound possible connection between this vision and the potential of technological advancement, particularly the idea of the Singularity as described by Ray Kurzweil, which suggests a point in time where technological change/growth becomes so profound that it fundamentally changes humanity and the universe as we know it. Perhaps by harnessing these advancements responsibly, guided by wisdom, compassion, and connection, we can unlock new levels of understanding, collaboration, and human potential to create a world of collective flourishing, unprecedented harmony and boundless potential.
