Education

Want to reform it. Want to make it easier for children to chase their interests with reckless abandon. Want to build a system the dumps resources on the most curious and motivated students, and comes up with game plans for the least motivated ones. Let’s not force anyone to be who they are not.

Connectivity

Want to spend hours each day meeting new people, or old people more deeply than before. I want to encourage and appreciate people for what makes them uniquely them, and I want to make it easier and more approachable for others to do so, as well.

Related mission(s):

Community

Slowly amassing communities around organic processes of connection and information gathering. Corporate alignment based on shared visions, beliefs, values, and hypotheses. Corporate collaboration over destinations: “We want the same change in the world, but we disagree on how to get there. But still, we share resources, because a win for one is a win for all.” Network of “creative houses” where creatives can go and explore themselves. Some kind of profit sharing.

Awakening & self-realization

Really waking up to the detail and variety of the experience. That there are differences in kind to be found, and not just in degree. There are whole aspects to life that I’ve yet to explore that are alien and foreign. Would like not to leave any stone I can reach unturned.

Reducing gaps between audience and performer. Enable more remixes and reimagining. Fans and creators are one in the same. Fan-led creativity.

We’re constantly bombarded with noise and emotional programming. It’s conditioning us to be upset, craving, and bad.

Experimental interfaces

We have five senses, and they’re pretty limited. It would be awesome to augment these senses with additional sensors, mapping the unseen, unheard, unfelt, and undetected to what we can experience. Until Neuralink makes it common, safe, and workable, this is our only option to develop an intuition about the layers and corners of the natural world that is off limits to us.
