Welcome to Borderless - a publication about my experiences in a borderless world and my work building the Lego blocks for United Federation of Planets.
Hi π! My name is Vikram. A fifth-culture-kid living in New Zealand, a former space systems engineer turned complex systems architect working at the twilight zone of crypto & space exploration, a podcast showrunner where I talk with diverse voices in the space community to provide a holistic view of the sector and the author of this publication.
In this publication, youβll hear about my thoughts on life, poetry (past, present and future), some of the art and writing I do and occasionally some of my experiences growing up in four culturally different countries as a child. But, what youβll also get is the research I do which is building the Lego blocks for the United Federation of Planets. The web3 verse offers these tools to build space ecosystems all over the solar system (p.s. there are some limits π).
If youβre into crypto/web3 and/or space π° exploration π - a political scientist, economist, ethicist, ecologist, public health, artist, philosopher, legal scholar, physical scientist, complexity scientist, an engineer or an expert I did not label here but touch areas of society, ethics & technology, Iβd love to have your perspectives - on this publication or on my podcast - on a path towards a United Federation.
πππ In the meantime, tell your friends and subscribe π
Promise not to bombard you with too many newsletter emails. You should expect at the worst, an email a month.
Any more than a month will most likely come if there is enough funding for the research to help me pay the bills so I can do this full-time and hire people if needed. You can always fund the research (please see below).
β€οΈβ€οΈ If youβre interested in sharing your perspectives along the lines of the borderless theme, please send me an email.
β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ If youβre interested in financially supporting the research and getting any future updates on any of that research being turned into projects, tokens, etc., you can do that in two ways:
For crypto natives and semi-crypto natives (one-off): Gitcoin Grant
For non-crypto natives (on-going): Patreon
For non-crypto (one-off): <Link coming soon>
