My name is Timotheos. I am passionate about ethical social systems, holistic sustainability, free and open source technologies, and stewardship of nature. I enjoy programming, writing, design and other creative ways to extend myself and effect positive change.
I currently work as a video games developer with a for-profit company, which I'm hoping to transition away from soon. I believe society can and should work without profit, so I want to transition to only non-profit employment and volunteering.
My main project is Firestone Sanctuary, an intentional changemaker community based near Brisbane, Australia. Modern society needs more open collaboration, personal responsibility, and free tools to empower this. The Sanctuary is a launchpad for these ideas and many sub-projects.
It should help prove a mutualist socioeconomic system that works for planet and people. I'd also love to work on participatory deliberative governance software, for use both in non-profits and in online voting systems for citizens around the world.
My interests and projects include:
An intentional community and eco-sanctuary for both people and nature to regenerate, based in South East Queensland, Australia.
Time in Nature
I enjoy spending time in nature, especially rainforests and beaches. Hiking, climbing and swimming are all very restorative!
Crafts and Arts
Creative outlets such as crafts, arts, drawing, jewellery-making, welding, blacksmithing, photography and painting.
Writing and Literature
Writing, reading and learning have always been close to my heart. I am writing a novel, plus poetry, prose and essays.
Personism
Personism is an ethical starting point and framework to unite various ethical, political and religious viewpoints.
Panmutualism
A mutual socioeconomic system characterised by reciprocity, equal exchange, environmental integration and personist freedoms.
Games development
Non-profit games development studio making meaningful games that teach environmental or moral lessons through play.
Open collaboration
Tools to enable and encourage open collaboration using technology, including open source software recommendations.
Explorative fitness
Mobility and freedom of the human body (parkour, callisthenics, climbing, bouldering, exploration, weights).
Living Guides
I plan to publish free living guides that cover topics of health, nutrition, fitness, privacy and sustainability.
Relationships
Rethinking human living spaces and relationship structures instead of taking society's default. Coparenting, romance and other topics.
Inspirations
Persons, art and media that have inspired me. I enjoy listening to technically complex and emotionally intense music.
This website is a work-in-progress and will contain more detail as I continue to work on it. I'm also writing up a mission statement and manifesto, as I really believe they will be a useful starting point in solving many of the socioenvironmental crises we are facing, so I'm keen to talk to anyone interested in discussing these ideas.
If you'd like to collaborate on any project, or just get to know me further, contact me at timotheos@firestone.eco.
