About
Hi, I’m Jock.
I’m on a mission to change the world across five core areas.
Currently, I’m building Fastlane to help grow the world’s best ideas.
Previously, I was Head of Marketing at Yes You Can Drinks.
Before that, I played Water Polo in the Australian National League.
Dreams
Natural equilibrium
If we get everything else right, but we get climate change wrong, we still lose. I built a platform to calculate our progress and provide solutions.
Equality of opportunity
I want to empower every human to the same level of opportunity I had. AI unlocks 10x education for every developing country.
Moral bioengineering
The day a human is engineered who is not a homo sapiens, society will fundamentally change. I believe this will be an enormous problem in the future.
Aligned super-intelligence
Walking the narrow path between dystopia (unchecked power) and chaos (institutional overwhelm) is our greatest immediate challenge.
Mars expansion
The day humans land on Mars, I think society on Earth will change for the better. I want to help build the future civilisation on Mars.
Fun
Jiu Jitsu
I currently hold a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Recently, I won two gold medals
at the
Oceanic Jiu Jitsu Championships.
Improv
I learned improv theatre with some extremely funny people, and have performed 40+ shows over the last few years.
Water Polo
I played Water Polo
in the Australian National League, and learned
an incredible amount about doing hard things.
