• Stewart Brand [I don't know him, but he's (1) an SFI trustee and (2) a writer of very admirable books, even if he did help inflict Buckminster Fuller upon the world, and still takes Gregory Bateson seriously.]

• Aryaman Shalizi [My younger brother. He's much smarter than I am; also more sociable, and better looking. His complexion is dark enough that he sometimes got hassled for not joining La Raza or going to meetings of "Students of Color." My complexion is light enough that I would be more than hassled if I tried. (In high school, he was sometimes called "Cosma's ethnic brother"; likewise, I was "Ary's white brother." Don't call him Ary.) He did his undergraduate degree in neuroscience at Oberlin College, where he played in the Can Consortium. Since then he's been at the National Institutes of Health, where he worked on transgenic mice with most of the HIV genome spliced in and tumor-suppressor genes for (of all things) the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. He discovered the joys of graduate school through the Biological and Biomedical Sciences Program at Harvard, where he "put the LABOR in laboratory." Now he does fascinating things to proteins at Stanford.]
• Zmarak Shalizi [My father. He's an economist for a uniquely enlightened organ of imperalism, the World Bank, and was the lead author of the Bank's World Development Report 2003: Sustainable Development in a Dynamic Economy. (That report led The Economist to ask "Is the World Bank turning Marxist?", but he insists his leftism can be summed by saying "Humanity has a long way to go before it is civilized.") His favorite authors are Richard Dawkins and Larry Gonick.]
