I come from humble beginnings, and despite what opinions may have been formed about American media's portrayal of 'humble', I, like many of you, was raised without many modern technologies,and access to higher education, however.... as all of my fellow dreamers do, I worked with what I had, taught myself to understand the emerging connection that we have called the internet, computer technologies, information and data sharing, as well as security, the immediate and rapidly growing need for universally applicable standards for such factors as reliable transfer speeds. I have a very firm understanding for the immediate and future need for education for ourselves and our future generations. If we are to survive as a species, we need to solve not only our need to protect our Earth, our beautiful home, from the threats we now face from outside our current capacity for detection... but the threats we face to ourselves from within. Global warming is on the forefront, and thanks to the freedoms we have enjoyed in the past until now, we have discovered that we are all much more alike than we some of us may have even dreamed possible. In the time that I have been online and in contact with people from around the world... and I know most of you may be young so you may find this hard to believe.... since the late 1980's (yes, I remember waiting for 2-7 days for a 75MB file to download, praying that I did not get disconnected)... I have discovered that the one thing that seems to unite us all at our fundamental core, is the desire to not only survive, happy, and prosperous, but our desire, no, our need to contribute to our society and our future, not only for ourselves but our children.
Now for the first time globally, our very freedom to exchange ideas is being threatened by divisiveness among our respective country's leaders and politics. This is one of the first issues I intend to address if honored enough to serve in such a position. I can apply what I already know, and exchange ideas with others of like mind and calling in our Great New Nation of Asgardia, to work with what resources we have and support we can gain to, at the very least, keep our message of Global Peace and Communication open and free, to all countries, institutions, leaders and peoples of all faiths and belief systems or lack of such callings. We do not seek to influence or demand, but to serve the survival and cooperation of our Earth in whole. This is not only the message I carry, but my creed to my fellow Asgardians. As Minister of Science, I pledge my life, my love, and my time and energy to opening and keeping open the channels of communication with the scientific and national leaders of this world.
P.S. A more formal and better picture of myself to come. I apologize for being distracted by the political chaos here in the US and failing to update my mug.
