About

Andrew Craucamp


Entrepreneur and Investor

Prior to my entrepreneurial endeavours I worked for a number of software firms as a developer and system architect between 2006 and 2012. In 2012 I raised funding for and started Involgo where I built the NodeCore business management platform from the ground up. At the end of 2016 I moved on from Involgo and diversified my investment portfolio focussing on property, small businesses, and cryptocurrencies. I now pursue my personal interest in artificial intelligence, robotics and virtual reality.

Communist

I'm aware of the stigma around communism but it needs to be better understood by all parties, particularly on the topic of equality and democracy. In order to achieve a communist society three societal conditions need to be met; there must be no aristocracy or poverty, there must be transparent, decentralised democratic governance and there must be universal access to basic necessities without obligation.

Atheist

Science is my "religion" and the singularity is my motivation. Communal and environmental consciousness are necessary for the survival and progress of our species.

Vegan

I live on a plant-based diet, I very rarely consume animal products but when I do I am cognisant of how it ended up on my plate and why consuming animal products regularly is detrimental both to my health and to the environment.

Human Being

I accept both the strengths and weaknesses of my character and I acknowledge that every human being is a unique set of characteristics. No human being is independent of others, we are products of our social environments.

Quake3 in HD

Dust off the old PK3 files: Although it's over 10 years old, Quake 3 is still being played in offices around the world. Since id software has open sourced the Quake 3 engine; a community of developers has created an updated engine called ioquake3 and has recently also included a high resolution texture pack . ioquake3 is 100% compatable with Quake3 v1.32 so you will be able to join servers running the original Quake3 engine and vice versa. All you will need are the original pk3 files found in your Quake 3 baseq3 folder.

Die Antwoord Is Conceptual Art

“Corporate giants can’t fuck with the link between our art and our clients”, one of the many recycled phrases in Waddy Jones ’ arsenal. This middle class English-speaking white boy from Randburg has spent many years perfecting the art of rap but lyrical gymnastics alone won’t pay the bills. Keeping it real was ironically not his claim to fame, completely redefining his personality to a stereotypical white trash South African reflecting a prominent hardcore sub-culture was what got him there. “Ninja” is probably the only aspect of the zen loving individual that’s been carried through to Die Antwoord .

Black Economic Empowerment is Racist

BEE is blatantly corrupt and racist yet our "leaders" speak of it as if it's perfectly acceptable and even necessary. I have even heard the phrase "No one questions the necessity of BEE, it's the implementation that must be discussed". This is strange to me since 90% of the people i speak to on this topic (black, white, coloured, indian) have said that it's racist and destructive. That's certainly at least a small group of people that do question it.
