I compress things. Money, genomes, arguments about God. Whatever survives compression is probably true.

Sperm Donation

I offer sperm donation on a private, direct basis. I am not affiliated with any clinic. All genetic information is available for inspection before any decision is made.

I acknowledge all biological children from this arrangement as my offspring. They carry full inheritance rights alongside any other children I may have or adopt. This is not a conditional commitment — it is unconditional and documented.

Fund
ALEF

ALEF — Leveraged Portfolio Token

A fully on-chain, NAV-backed fund holding leveraged positions across tokenized equities, precious metals, and stablecoins. Every asset, every loan, and every price used in the NAV calculation is publicly verifiable in real time.

The fund computes its net asset value from live lending protocol positions across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Tron, and Solana — then publishes a continuous price. No black box.

Ω

Omniscience and the Incompressible Core

An Information-Theoretic Dilemma for Classical Theism

Some truths are incompressible. The bits of Chaitin's Ω are the clearest case — necessary but algorithmically random, Turing-equivalent to the halting problem. This paper presses the fact as a dilemma: if divine knowledge of Ω is intrinsically constituted, God's state must compute the uncomputable, making the divine intellect maximally complex rather than simple. The escape — locating discriminating information outside God — is available to divine simplicity and direct-awareness accounts alike, but it externalises knowledge of contingent reality into the creatures, sharpening the aloneness argument and surviving the standard reply to modal collapse.

The conclusion is not that God does not exist, but that the non-representationalism classical theism relies on is the load-bearing wall — and this argument measures the load.

Arguments Against the Existence of God

The standard arguments for theism — cosmological, ontological, fine-tuning — all contain a compression error: they mistake the complexity of an explanation for its depth. A universe that requires a designer requires a more complex universe to design it. The regress does not terminate; it is displaced.

The more interesting question is not whether God exists but why the hypothesis is so persistent in minds that are otherwise capable of updating. That question has a straightforward information-theoretic answer. The full argument is in the book.

Genomics

My Genome — Public Domain

Whole-genome sequencing, 30× coverage, aligned to GRCh38. Released as CC0 — no rights reserved, no restrictions. Use it however you like: polygenic scores, ancestry, population genetics, whatever.

This is the hard-filtered variant call file (VCF). It contains roughly 4 million variants relative to the reference genome. I am not releasing the raw reads (BAM). The VCF is sufficient for most research purposes and leaks less about people I share DNA with.
