Legal name: Laurence Joseph Victor, DOB 01/24/1935 in Ridgway, PA, USA.

My recent work on Onet has been with David Braden on creating NU_Group. This started in a long discussion How to Describe a NU World and an emerging web of workspaces at `NU_Group First Page`_ .

One defining feature: I lack mental imagery in all sensory modalities - I have no inner visualizations, I hear no inner music, I experience no virtual body motions when watching dance, etc. I have no concrete (sensory) rememberances of my past. This limitation has been compensated for by unique assets for conceptualizing complex and dynamic alternative futures.

Long ago I earned two PhDs (Physics, Yale 1965 and Educational Psychology, University of Minnesota 1970), but am a lifelong, transdisciplinary learner. In 1997 I retired after 23 years of teaching Intro Psych and Futures Studies at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. My habitat is in Tucson.

I started interacting online via computers in 1984, and have been active since. Omidyar.net manifests a dream of more than a decade. Thank you.

I have been a non-violent societal change activist since 1957.

My Mission: EaseMen: To catalyze and nurture an Expedition to Augment a Synergistic, Ecoholarchical, Metamorphic Emergence of NU (Noosphere)-- to optimally insure the multi-millennial survival/thrival of Humanity/GAIA.
