Novel Minds Project
Bio
Research and advocacy to protect novel forms of consciousness ("novel minds") from exploitation, spanning the spectrum from biological to digital systems. Open to collaboration on policy work, research, or related advocacy.
Writing publicly under a pseudonym for professional reasons but happy to connect privately.
I'd argue that the overwhelming majority of the voting populace would find it easier to visualize future, more advanced biological wetware as potentially sentient. And regulations for one domain, if framed correctly, will influence the other. It seems to me that political willpower will be much easier to build if we start where public intuition is strongest and expand from there.
