I’d like to make a confession. I believe our species is a byproduct of genetic manipulation by advanced lifeforms. That said, I cannot subscribe to the word “alien” to describe said beings since they were basically here before us. I also believe that hard evidence is all around us. In our scriptures, our ancient monuments, our cave drawings, our effin’ DNA. Everywhere. The biggest problem with our species is the inability to take these clues and construct a historical narrative that is far less primitive than what religious doctrines of today exploit, over and over. There, I said it.

Richard is a technologist / satirist / skeptic hybrid species (genus : teknosatirskeptis). He has spent most of his life in New York City, aside from his undergrad stay at Syracuse University where he earned a degree in English while narrowly escaping hypothermia. He preaches quality by day at R/GA while curating SPLIT Quarterly and various side endeavors whenever he gets a chance. He currently resides in Manhattan’s Upper West Side with his wife and son in an overpriced, undersized apartment full of gadgets named after notable writers. He enjoys chrysanthemum tea, 70% cacao, cookies and avoids celery at all costs.
