Profile: Damon Lynch

Personal background
I am from New Zealand, which is where I currently live. I have also lived in the Philippines, where I did development-related work for 5 or so years, in the fields of biodiversity conservation, sustainable development policy advocacy, and agrarian reform. I have also lived in India and Pakistan recently. I have an interest in the life of Abdul Ghaffar Khan, a nonviolent Muslim who fought against British imperialism last century.
I would rather be an atmanaut than an astronaut, but it's hard work. Confused? Atman is a sanskrit term for Self. You can read more about that in a good translation of a text like the Bhagavad Gita. In short, the universe within the mind is as mysterious and complex as the universe without, and linked in surprising and wonderful ways.....
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I hope humankind will last long enough to find sources of extraterrestrial life, should they exist. I also hope we will keep our planet in good condition, so as not to be ashamed of what we have to offer should we make contact one of these days.
I run SETI@home because I think it is good science and a worthy goal.
