I teach what nature has taught me and seek to share in the experience of continuity, right-relation and entanglement with others.

My work broadly explores the intersections of intelligence, nature, and human potential. In 2025 I am focusing on how civilization (generally) and Artificial Intelligence (specifically) are built on incomplete understandings of human intelligence. I propose that many who create and use AI are ignoring, and thus forfeiting, deep and ancient continuities of mind and world and thereby placing us on the wrong side of a developmental curve. I aim to help remedy this at a critical infection point.

While new AI may employ legitimate metaphors and architectures of neurological systems, compute ≠ relate. In other words, computational is not the same as relational, which is the deep evolutionary basis of human intelligence. 

Thus, today’s AI is built all too human but ironically, not humane enough because we have not yet embraced the whole nature of our humanity. This oversight is the actual basis of the real built-in (and still overlooked) alignment problem that is the existential paradox of today's AI. 

In the throes of this technological conundrum, I advocate for the deeper but forgotten continuities of human intelligence that are already embodied and enminded within the natural endowment of humans. This isn't about resisting technological progress, but about enriching it through what I call Artful Intelligence – a powerful synthesis of technological and natural wisdom. I propose we activate the best of our Earthling inheritance to empower the only viable future.

When you think about it like this, the future is beautiful or there isn't one.
