Planetary consciousness

Biodiversity credits, hactivists, and Indigenous groups

“I plant trees so the trees can take care of you.”

Why doctors are getting their asses kicked by technology

Slow thinking and machine learning in medicine

Thoughts on modern consumerism

I'm a pacifist. My work is a kind of planetary surgery — diagnosing complex systems with humility, isolating what can be healed, and stitching things back together so they can recover and grow. The craft is in doing it surgically: precision, integrity, and skill transfer. For 🌎, with 🫀.

We need pragmatic #SolarPunk negotiation and reintegration during an era of extreme technological and environmental change. To this aim, I’ve been focused on applying high-tech from hard-science in critical sectors. I lead a team of 300+ delinquent savants who specialize in solving hard scientific and social problems using emerging technologies. Our latest project is Savimbo which sells fair-trade climate credits direct from smallfarmers and Indigenous groups in tropical forests.  

Prior work includes agroforestry, biodiversity credits, carbon sequestration, Web3, wearables, film production, newspace, behavior design, civ-tech and smart cities, AI and ML, cybersecurity, near-infrared spectroscopy, fMRI, stem cells and tissue-engineering, 3D printing, VR, specialist networks, nanotech, voice-recognition software, microbiome, web/app product design, business and startup strategy, social enterprise, popular-science writing,  scientific PR and niche marketing. In global health, I develop high-tech for low-resource environments.

We use emerging technologies to promote planetary health. We are apolitical and industry-agnostic to this aim and passionate about reducing barriers to innovation at the intersection of research, technology, and science.

We recruit and train high-IQ individuals with non-traditional backgrounds working with government, law, medicine, computer science, business, finance, creatives, Indigenous Peoples, and academics around the world. 

To quote Karen Kilroy "I can't help but wonder how much further technology could go if we solved things for people who had the biggest problems first — and then made games."
