To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god. --Jorge Luis Borges
Hello, I am Marcos:
- a PhD (Theology) and a medical doctor (HD)
- dedicated to the Free software movement with the GNU GPL.
- former member of the Santa Fe Complex (currently defunct), before then I was average@mit.edu and sysadmin for a University.
- former urban nomad who lived 15 years on the street and knows the problems there and how to fix them.
- maker of the operating system to gamify the operations and governance of hackerspaces and cleanse the old money system.
- hater of Jabbascript, because it's killed the internet revolution.
- Zen Coder and stand on the shoulders of the venerable Donald_Knuth to form ComputerScience v2,
- Starter for the next version of the best role-playing game,
- Occupy activist struggling to make a world that lives up to its own written principles (in other words, suicidal iconoclast).
- protector of the underdog. See page on bullying of how to win. (...in progress)
and can be reached at dreamingforward(@)gmail.com or github/theProphet. If you don't want the material for a better world, that's fine. I don't push it. It's always hiding calmly away from the limelight, waiting for those who are willing to fight for a better future.
I am not:
- intimate with systemd,
- a Javascript brogrammer,
- a perpetrator of software theft.
- Randall Monroe, Rob Malda, Ted Kaczynski, Tim McVeigh, nor John Perry Barlow,

- to programmers: zipher
- to conspiracy theorists and evolutionists: Sasquatch
- to the one who created this world: Adam.
Totally not anyone from literature by Chuck Palanuik. Try Fernando Pessoa or one of the heteronymous identities there. Oh, and if you're looking for the living Wizard, I cannot tell you.
My definition of a hacker is one who can take things apart, and then put it back together. The elite hacker can put it back in a way that improves form and/or function and is as good as the original. Programmers, mechanics, tinkerers...
DM, Coder, Manager (Network & Telecom), PhD, non-religious spiritualist, activist. I'll lead your hackerspace without ever telling you what to do -- no salary required: only some committed individuals and a decent space. Everyone's considered an equal, but I won't make false=true. You can check <http://linkedin.com/in/majanssen> for some credentials (and contact info). Simple residency or couch? Good enough.
Mark Janssen, yours truly, is a PLU (Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, WA) graduate in Computer Engineering, became Director of Networking and Telecommunications for the University, then dropped out of the standard economic model to self-fund research in Artificial Intelligence where he formed a basis for self-generating, self-organizing systems of information. Presently he’s waiting for anyone else who wants to make a better world that won’t deteriorate from apathy, debt and consumerism, disease, and environmental collapse. Hundreds of messages have gone out to various luminaries and leaders to this effect, but nothing has returned. He does not necessarily endorse all that is said above, which is both bombastic and hyberbole.
