I’m glad someone is thinking about the crimes of tomorrow today!

I was so psyched to have my essay published at the Institute of Ethics & Emerging Technologies a few days ago. To get noticed is part of my research method observational participation is important in any qualitative research. Today I have been working all day. First I launched a side project called Paja1 in the morning. Paja1 is a project or a network that aims to utilize technology (in a wide sense) to combat some of the worlds problems (well, at least some local ones). Its not a business or even a proper NGO. Paja1 is an impact network.

Anyway, Then I went to work at the Sorsa Foundation and edited an article collection i’m doing. That took the rest of the day. Then, after getting my kid from kindergarten, I attended the first ever meeting of The Open Ministry -project (check it out if you are interested in the future of open democracy – Finland is setting standards!).

It’s the first hot night of summer, there is the Eurovision Song Contest semi-final going on and the nation is having it’s thumps up for Pernilla Karlsson. I’m drinking coffee since on a hot Eurovision night like this I can’t imagine sleeping.

But then, something popped up on Twitter. Something very different from the ordinary Transhuman related tweets. It was an ingenious website called Future Crimes. I really thought it would be a comic book or something but no. This is a site that asks hard questions about how technology and crime will evolve into in the future. Back in my wild past I thought of going into a career with the sociology of law so I’m kinda hooked to the phenomenon of crime as such. No, I’m not a “fan” of “crime” or something like that. I just like to see society deal with deviance and stuff like that.

Sine the IEET essay really got me back on the project and since there are less things to do elsewhere, I think I’ll get my self on a writing mode soon.

The Topic of My Life

This a blog about a PhD project, transhumanism and a persistant researcher. Starting soon.
