Bio
Originally from Colombia, living in Texas. Studied Philosophy and Psychology, while exploring creativity and perception. Taoism is my metaphysics, and the future of technology is my motivator. We create in order to better understand the universe and ourselves.
I'm passionate about
creativity, philosophy, psychology, adaptive systems, flexibility, open mindedness, learning, sharing, love, time, perception, emergence.
An idea worth spreading
We are human because we have the ability to project consciousness, emergent behaviors like empathy and our imagination are all based on our ability to imagine being something else. The internet is becoming the world of ideas that Plato imagined so long ago. Computers will surpass our cognitive abilities within this century.
Areas of expertise
Creative thinking, Philosophy, psychology, Web tech
The TED story
I was introduced to TED by my brother, and have been a huge advocate of the life changing power of ideas. Just seeing these amazing people discuss their passions has been hugely influential. I am looking forward to attending TED in the near future.
