What we want to see

A world where knowledge tools augment intelligence as you think — where notebooks become thinking partners and the connections between ideas are as tangible as the ideas themselves.

A general gateway to all known physics for autonomous agents — where form and content are inextricably tied, and software enacts critique rather than merely stating it.

If there is any delay in the feedback loop between thinking something and seeing it, there is a whole world of ideas which will never be. You can fight for a principle by inventing.

A future where one cannot differentiate between the natural and the artificial — a radical shift from human-centric design to Nature-centric design, where buildings age, decay, and return to nature.

I want to democratize not just the tools we create but the knowledge we use to identify a problem and come up with clear and clever solutions — for billions of people, at planetary scale.

A world where art and technology converge through speculative thinking — where design shapes culture and the studio is a hybrid conceptual space built on science fiction.

What is the unsayable aliveness that lies underneath phenomena? Investigating emergence and self-assembly through electrons, cells, and light — transfiguring poetry into proteins via bioprinting.

Marrying code with creative expression, poetic prose woven with quantum physics — helping humanity remember and unlock the power each individual holds within.

Transportation reimagined from first principles — from solar robotics to communal living to a suspension system that makes the bumpiest road feel like floating. What if the ride itself could be restorative?

Get as many people as possible to touch the profound state of consciousness that leads to a self-sustaining cascade of wisdom and joy — and make the onramps accessible to everyone, not just the privileged few.

What would happen if superintelligent AI was aligned with your values?

We need to look at where we actually want to go, not just where we are afraid we might end up.

It’s 2043, and America has reached post-scarcity subsistence, fueled by fusion power and ‘nanoforges’ that can manufacture almost anything imaginable. But the resources to fuel this economic miracle are wrenched from the Global South, and America has been locked in an endless counterinsurgency. For most Americans, the war is an abstraction, fought by drones and broadcast as entertainment. What can an ordinary man do about it?

How few people could be working to get everyone’s needs met? A transition state where work occupies less of the day and volunteerism collectives occupy more.
