I’m 26 (or 27 I can’t remember) and I’m just a guy trying to do a bunch of good in a digital age that seems to care more and more about short term benefits and appeasing low attention spans than using technology to better humanity.

I’m a shitty Android (now attempting web / react / react native to build knophy.com) developer that’s been fired from every job I’ve had (besides being a soccer referee in high school) and I like to think outside the box. I don’t like being like everyone else. I don’t take offense very easily, and I don’t have a very easy time finding people to discuss these deep ideas with.

I do my best, and have actually found a couple from this very thread, but I don’t think the current landscape of the Internet is set up to value the kinds of contributions I’d like to bring. I’m designing knophy.com to hopefully help fix my personal problem.

Here’s some reading on that system if you’re interested and would like to help spread the idea:
