There's so many thrilling things about Asgardia. However,  for me, the most exciting and natural one to start with is the sense of opportunity. As the world's first space nation, we have a unique and compelling opportunity like no other: a chance not to start from scratch but leverage the knowledge gleaned from the past to build something worthy of the future.

Asgardia represents the opportunity to take a well-deserved break from trying to topple an unequal status quo and create one that's outright better to begin with.

Who Am I?

I am a young journalist living in Australia. I am passionate about history, technology, film, TV, video games and books.

Living in a country that's very much dominated by a two-party politics. I hope that the open-ended nature of Asgardia will allow me to have my say in a way that traditional politics doesn't necessarily allow.

What Will I Do If Elected?

Strive to ensure Asgardia develops strong, articulate and evidence-based policies in addressing concerns around inequality, media laws,  technology, economics, ecological sustainability and free speech.

I abhor the idea that the world exists in black and white. In all that I do, I am driven to explore and delve into the nuance in the world - no matter how contradictory.

In particular, I want to focus on helping Asgardia develop norms and regulations that enshrine and encourage a diverse and accurate media landscape. The news is a public good. We should take a more direct role in maximizing the good it can do.

The universe is like a river. The river keeps on flowing. It doesn't care whether you are happy or sad, good or bad; it just keeps flowing. Some people go down to the river and they cry. Some people go down to the river and they are happy, but the river doesn't care; it just keeps flowing. We can use it and enjoy it, or we can jump in and drown. The river just keeps flowing because it is impersonal, and so it is with the universe. The universe that we live in can support us or destroy us. It's our interpretation and use of the laws that determine our effects or results.Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centered on human beings will prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition. They avoid rather than confront the world. But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries.The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, the mind itself being but a fact among others.
