Thomas John Exelby

Founder and current leader

Greetings.

The following is autobiographical in nature, which feels both egotistical and somewhat redundant, as it is wiser to judge someone on their actions rather than their own words. 

I will be forthcoming in all information I believe to be relevant. 

Privacy is not a concern for me as I have nothing to hide. 

 

Core

Myers-Briggs personality: ENTJ

Moderately knowledgeable in all fields.

Primary strengths: Efficient absorption of knowledge, pattern recognition, strategic capability and creativity.

Diet: Vegetables, nuts and meat. Persistent state of ketosis. 

Exercise daily with a focus on cardiovascular strength, balance and self defense.

Persistently sober.

No criminal record.

 

Motivations and Ambitions 

From a young age I have always been an inventor and philosopher, designing new contraptions and pondering perplexing problems.

I wish to create and mend what is broken.

While I would prefer to be creating machinery, creating an effective government and uniting the human race is my highest priority.  

Existing governments are fraught with vulnerabilities and presided over by immature and ineffective politicians… fighting amongst themselves like children… bickering back and forth in biased party debate… masking true intentions with fake smiles… lying, stealing and exploiting the masses for personal gain.

Despite the failures of so many leaders my anger is directed at the inadequate systems that have allowed them to acquire and abuse power in the first place. This is what I must conquer before I move on to anything else.

I have been planning the Omnira since 2014 and have produced several distinct iterations of the constitution in an effort to achieve a satisfactory outcome.  

Once this government is operating at a sufficient capacity, I would like to attain the resources for research, the creation of my inventions, the designing of cities and a house to raise a family and animals. 

 

Character

I am completely confident in my capabilities, fully aware of my weaknesses, and invigorated by responsibility to others.

I have been fortunate to live comfortably in the veritable paradise of Australia while many struggle just to stay alive, which is why I feel the urgency to help those who suffer.

I am overtly utilitarian, in which practicality and the greater good always takes priority. 

On matters of importance I am laboriously calculative, sometimes to the point of tedium, concerned with problems both present and in the future, such as the long term implications of social trends, the damage caused by artificial food modification, the potential physiology and dialects of aliens.

When in debate, I do not care who is incorrect, only that the correct answer is found, for it is impossible for a single person to know all. 

I am extremely skeptical and rarely accept new information without verification from multiple, unbiased sources.

I ponder the motives of every involved party before making judgement.

When an error is made in a team environment, I would rather focus on resolving the problem immediately than isolating blame, and I am unable to hold a grudge.

To me, lying and deception are not acceptable in any scenario outside of warfare or comedy for several reasons:

  • Almost all dislike being lied to.
  • With the exception of narcissists, lies slowly and secretly erode your conscience until there is little left but self-loathing and guilt.
  • When a lie is discovered, and they generally are eventually, all semblance of trust is lost and this not something that be reacquired quickly, if ever again.
  • Honesty is simply more energy efficient. Lying requires the memorising of additional variables.

Over the years it has occurred to me that the excessive pursuit of financial wealth has a tendency to come at the cost of others, or the sacrifice of a sincere ethical compass. And to continuously purchase increasingly extravagant and typically unnecessary products the pursuit of pleasure seems illogical to me as my happiest memories are with people I love, not possessions.

The acquisition of personal financial wealth does not transpose to political prowess and  those who have the most money seek political power for selfish intent.

I am not motivated by fame or financial wealth.

Seeing people smile gives me the greatest joy.  

Protecting and helping others is my goal. 

Over the years I have moulded myself to be a leader that people deserve… Someone that I would want to be led by.

 

Philosophy

I love all humans. We are all similar in blood, emotions and bone… what differs most is simply language and location of home. 

There is no superior race or being, only different, and there are positive aspects to all.  Each nation, culture, tribe and individual on this planet should be proud of their uniqueness.

I believe most humans are inherently ‘good’ and have a  unique story that could only be understood from their perspective.

Of course, there are those who greed has left them uncaring to the damage they inflict upon others. And for that I have little tolerance.

I feel confident in my ability to dispense justice to those who would harm our species in their selfish or uncaring pursuits. 

 

Flaws

I am definitely not without flaws and my past is littered with failures.  

I am often so concerned for the future that I do not connect with the present. 

I have never had an interest in pursuing financial wealth and it has cost me the financial security to raise a family. 

For the greater part of my adolescent life I let illness cloud my judgement and was adrift without a noble purpose or significant accomplishment…Bedridden and unable to pursue my passion for a career in invention/industrial design or meet the medical prerequisites for military duty in Australia.

Following the death of my fiancé I lacked motivation in romantic intentions, and after multiple hospitalizations I found little want to exist in reality, taking respite from despair within dreams and stagnating in atrophy. 

Allowing myself to be emotionally defeated is my greatest shame.  If I had found the motivation I could have helped many more people…which is why I feel it imperative to waste no more of my life in sorrow and inaction.

There are no awards for victims. 

We must persevere in whatever circumstances beset us.

From every mistake there is a lesson and from every flaw there is a path to improvement.

I now possess uncompromisable emotional resilience and I never let illness diminish my thirst for knowledge and challenge.

I will never surrender and I would rather die than fail.

 

Personal History

I was born in 1986 to a teacher and a doctor. Youngest of 4 siblings, we were spoiled with good food, education and travel.

From my father I inherited an unwavering commitment to healing and helping others.

And from my mother I inherited a passion for philosophy and learning, but none of her patience unfortunately.

Australian born and raised. Mixed European bloodline, associating heavily with my Celtic and Germanic lineage. 

I may seem young but I am driven to get work done. Age does bring wisdom but only to those willing to learn and senility is not something for which I yearn.  I cease working only when my mind is shattered from exhaustion and starts to err.

Apart from dishonesty, I don’t have many triggers, especially as guns have been outlawed in Australia since 1996 ;D

My ancient idols include: Kong Fuzi, Julius Cesar, Imhotep, Sun Tsu, Moses, Archimedes and Muhammed.

Modern idols include: Judith Sheindlin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wayne Brady, Bill Bailey, Tina Fey and Jimmy Barnes. 

You can safely assume that any social media post I’ve made was intended to make people laugh, despite not being very funny to most. My sense of humour is silly, immature, sarcastic and dark.

Despite an overwhelming amount of time fixated on a computer screen or book, I am most comfortable in nature at night, in an active construction site, or festival filled with happy people. If I feel utterly obligated to ‘meditate’ I will chop wood, go driving or simply explore.

I am very competitive in sports and have little regard for personal safety.  One of my favourite recent memories is  passing a ball to a friend who then scored and turned back to me with a massive grin.

I come from an upbringing where to show pain any pain is a weakness that demoralizes allies and incites unnecessary concern. Due to this stubbornness I have been close to death on many occasions.

I’m always listening to music and on good days you’ll find me dancing or wearing a banana costume to a festival. 

I love to cook for others because good food rarely fails to bring out a smile.

If I ever retire, I hope it will be on a small sailboat gliding gently across the pacific ocean, basking in warm sunlight and enjoying the company of people I meet along in my travels.

Either that or hurtling through space in the search of other life.

 

Final Note

As the Omnira threatens to strip power and profit from existing governments and the wealthiest financial entities, it is inevitable that lies will spread in order to discredit my work and character.

In the event of my death, there will be a smooth transition of leadership to a candidate I have selected.

I know many people will dislike me and that is understandable. Nevertheless, nothing will ever stop me caring about all

You honour me with your time and I am forever grateful.

Sincerely, 

Thomas John Exelby
