This will be my last post for a few weeks. During my trips down to Arkansas, I’ve been reading Gary Zukav’s 1979, “The Dancing Wu Li Masters,” a lay person’s guide to the “new” physics that emerged out of meetings he had at Esalen, home base for the human potential movement. I recognize there continue […]

Late last April, Lynn Davenport and I recorded a conversation unpacking the visit Evan Baehr, managing partner and social impact investor with Learn Capital, made to the Vatican in the fall of 2022 for the Humanity 2.0 conference hosted in partnership with Harvard University. I think it is useful to consider Humanity 2.0 as an […]

In between packing and getting my third and final UHaul round ready this weekend, I managed to put together a selection of clips touching on RFK Jr.’s blockchain / token habit and automated Stanford law specialist Nicole Shanahan’s plans to data mine precision health systems, an effort that will underpin quantified self social impact bonds […]

I’m Arkansas bound in the morning, so I don’t have time for a long post. All I have time for is to share a video with musings about the second part of my trip north and the photos that go along with it. Keep me in your prayers these next few weeks. I’m going to […]

Those around you choose. From choices trees unfurl. Expansive arbors lick at the horizon. Pixels, neighbors, nodes blink off and on. Life as pattern […]

I woke up with piles of boxes filling one end of my living room. They’d been there since last weekend when I hauled them up from the basement and down from the third floor. Given our recent investigations into fascia, the psyche, and computation, perhaps the physicality of my cardboard wrangling was a subconscious tactic […]

I am sharing the following exchange by text upon the request of the other party involved. This is someone I became acquainted with on education issues and over the past year around how their state fits into the topics I research. I did a livestream following this exchange, relating aspects of my experience to recent […]
