ABOUT ERIC BOYD
Technologist. Investor. Futurist. Maker. Yogi. Philosopher. Spreadsheet lover. Gamer. Programmer. Event organizer. Community organizer. Space geek. Robot lover. I’ve done a wide variety of things in my life – everything from engineering and making to event organizing to angel investing. I keep busy with a wide variety of projects and I’m always up for a conversation about the future and how to make it better. Currently obsessed with: • Machine Learning: are we close to artificial intelligence, or will that require another 100 PhD level breakthroughs? • Synthetic Biology: Cultured meat, genetic engineering, the design of living things. Engineered creatures; biology as advanced tech. • Angel Investing: Startups and entrepreneurs, the ecosystem of innovation • Educational Reform: making education more hands on and less academic. Creating citizens, not employees or consumers. • Sustainability: Not just climate change mitigation, but also habitat protection, closed loop manufacturing, and utopian dreams in general • Epistemology and Rationality: Carefully considering the nature of knowledge. How do we know what we claim to know? How does your information consumption make you into who you become? If you’re interested in pitching me on a project or startup in any of those areas (or just want to have a fun conversation and see where it goes) send me a message!
