Hello, I'm Kai, and I work on what I consider humanity's greatest challenge: transitioning to a sustainable food system, and away from animal agriculture. Interests include computing, history, science, anomalies, economics, and philosophy. My tools of choice are Emacs, Clojure/Lisp, Emacs, Linux, and Emacs Org mode.
