Hello! I’m Melanie Swan and the way I think is my own discipline.

Where are you going to be in 300 years? Is it moral to run a simulation with self-aware participants and harvest the technologies they create? Which is most likely to trigger a phase transition in intelligence, augmented biological intelligence, computer-simulated intelligence, or artificial intelligence?

I ask questions like this all the time. My life mission is to impact millions of people by facilitating the widespread deployment of beneficial high-impact science and technology.

Right now, I am working on these projects and seeking feedback, ideas and collaboration:

• Abundance injection techniques

What are quantitative ways to measure non-monetary economies (e.g.; academia, political systems, etc. where reputation, authority, etc. are the currencies)?

Can multi-currency economies be compared on the basis of scarcity?

How can abundance be injected technically and conceptually into models of scarcity, similar to the monetary policy mechanisms that can reverse recession?

• Immediate-impact life science technologies

How can the growing value of genomic research and the benefits of accelerating sequencing and synthesizing technology be assessed and communicated to other scientific disciplines and the public in an expedient ongoing way?

How can genomic research be integrated into the shifting health focus towards chronic disease and aging?

Today, I am in Silicon Valley working on DIYgenomics.
