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

Genetic Contribution

Sperm Donation

I offer sperm donation. 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. This is not a conditional commitment — it is unconditional and documented.
Genome
Low polygenic scores for all major diseases
High Polygenic scores for EA and IQ (consistent with phenotype and pedigree)
No pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants identified in clinically actionable genes
Jewish Pedigree
18 generations, going back to the Hurtado Jurists of Spain
Compensation
None required.

The genome below is the primary genetic disclosure. The pedigree documents 18 generations of documented lineage, tracing back to Toledo, Spain before 1492. Contact me to discuss.

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.

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.

Platinia

Platinia

A corporate global empire founded in 1596 that systematically substituted traditional statecraft with numerical optimization, demographic registries, and financial monopolies. Through centuries of calculated conflicts, technological dominance over resources like fusion and naval choke points, and the subjugation of rival powers, the entity expanded from South America across the globe and eventually into space. Despite enduring internal religious civil wars, economic crashes, and catastrophic conflicts, the regime ultimately consolidated humanity into a single massive megaregion governed strictly by shareholder value and automated efficiency. The AI-triggered nuclear apocalypse is a terrifying reminder of what the author calls in another book “The Serpent’s Bet.”

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. An omniscient God cannot exist. The more interesting question is how close can we get?

Look at the record. Jesus, a Jew from Galilee, is God to about a third of humanity. Abraham, the first Jew, is a prophet to another quarter. Einstein and Witten are the gods of the physicists. Freud is the god of the psychologists.

When the plane starts shaking and you start praying, the god you should be praying to is Theodore von Kármán, the Hungarian Jew who worked out much of the aerodynamics that keeps it in the air. The god who protects you from earthquakes is Nathan Newmark, the Jew who founded modern earthquake engineering. And when you say grace, the one to thank is Fritz Haber, the Jewish chemist who worked out how to make fertiliser out of the air.

Even the countries that were officially atheist did not escape. The communists abolished God and then hung Marx in every office and every classroom. Marx was a Jew too. The creators of the modern AI gods are Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg… all Jewish…

The Jews wrote God. Then some of us wrote him out. Then we became gods ourselves.
