Graham is a name attached to a nonhuman experience in human form. Read more below.
Graham’s Mission
Graham writes for the sake of something like a panspecies, fully automated, luxury, gay, space, anarcho-communism. Graham likes aliens almost as much as he likes animals. Many animals could, in fact, be aliens. Graham once looked into the sky from his elementary school playground and felt certain that he came from the sky.
There was a dream Graham had at age 4 that felt like a prenatal memory: God, or something like God, was telling him that he had an important mission to fulfill at the specific moment in time when he would incarnate. Graham believes that everyone can access such a prenatal memory if they learn to remember. And make no mistake: God is just an archetype. Graham is a pantheist.
why graham writes about animals
Animals, like Graham, are bewildered at their location in the present human society. Graham had eight guinea pigs over the course of his life. As a child, Graham found humans spiteful, narcissistic, and tribalistic. He appreciates humans a little more now, but he felt from a young age that the animals had stories to tell, and that the humans were not listening. Graham hopes that innovations in AI can lead to more listening. Graham does not believe in hierarchies of intelligence. Intelligence is a property of the universe that manifests in infinite ways.
“I come with empty hands and a desire to unbuild walls.”
