What is this?
This is a publication called Conscious Repository, an exercise in pattern spotting across complex ideas: biotech, psychology, religion, sovereignty, and whatever else seems worth writing down. It launched in 2020. Output is uneven, since I don't live off this publication and that's okay; the rough goal is one output per month when something is worth committing to the page.
Who are you?
My name is Benjamin Anderson. Here is my X. I live in Saint Louis, MO.
I am currently running AION, which is working to bring the aging process under complete biomedical control. Our thesis is that biophysics is a longer lever than biochemistry to change the things we want to in living systems.
Alongside that I develop real estate in a disinvested neighborhood of Saint Louis through OODA Group. We bought our first house there for $10,000 about eight years ago, on a cash advance from two credit cards, and now have many more in the pipeline. My dream is this becomes a sort of distributed research ecosystem where high-integrity individuals can come and explore their life’s work with limited constraints.
Before all of that, I made the decision to pivot out of university to build a software company and then a media company. I exited both which gave me the flexibility to start towards the path of doing what I do now.
Fundamentally, I am motivated by increasing human flourishing across the board.
