I write about how followers of Christ can develop and use technology in a way that pleases God.

This blog used to be called ‘America 2.0.’

Here’s why I changed the name on August 12, 2025:

Rebranding from 'America 2.0' to 'The Christofuturist'

God's kingdom is not of this world.

For almost three years, I wrote about leveling up America. I believed the nation-state was worth our devotion, that we should dedicate ourselves to systematic improvement of American systems. That felt noble and necessary.

I was wrong about the premise.

God doesn't care about nation-states. Not the United States. Not Israel. His kingdom transcends borders, governments, and patriotic fantasies. The more I grew in faith, the clearer this became.

My writing evolved with my understanding. I started with my own flavor of ‘effective accelerationism’ meets nationalist optimism. Then, slowly I included more of my views on faith and God. Eventually I realized Christianity was bigger than any country, but I still tried to merge them.

The breaking point came through seeing Jeffrey Epstein's networks, Christian nationalism, and Christian Zionism. I watched American believers twist scripture to justify worldly power plays. Even without the nation-state of Israel as the focal point, these coopters of the Bible would have been something else—some aggressive, materialist project disguised as spiritual urgency.

I've considered hiding my old writing, but a mentee asked me why I'd want to delete my track record instead of using it to show my intellectual and spiritual journey. He's right. The evolution from America 2.0 to The Christofuturist isn't something to hide. It's proof that Truth-seeking changes you.

I've become less of a materialist. I have become someone who devotes more of his heart and mind to be closer to God, to receive His heart, to understand how He designed this reality. I used to idolize technology and the people who built 'foundational tech' systems. That was beautiful until it became worship.

I've seen where tech idolatry leads. People worshipping large language models as boyfriends, priests, gods. That's the highway to hell, paved with silicon and venture capital.

The record of my writing is actually a record of throwing away idols—wealth, power, status, nationality. Even my gratitude for America, where my parents found asylum after the Tiananmen Square Massacre, doesn't make patriotism my calling.

We're all here to serve God as His creation. That's it.

I'm grateful God gave me the ability to communicate, to help people examine how technology, politics, and community building fit into a life serving Christ.

Future writing will maintain this lens. Technology serves God or it doesn't. Village development serves God or it doesn't. Political strategy serves God or it doesn't.

The Christofuturist perspective isn't about Christian nationalism or blessing America's empire. It's about asking how every domain of human activity can align with divine will instead of opposing it.

That's the rebrand. Not because dreaming of America 2.0 was shameful, but because the dream was incomplete.

God's kingdom has no borders, no flags, no earthly capital.

My writing should reflect that reality.
