How about the Cosmos Institute evolves the game instead of executing within the old paradigm? You’re soliciting pitches on how AI can support human flourishing, but your execution model is cemented in a dying axiom. You’re still a caterpillar, romanticizing the idea of wings, while ignoring that when the evolved butterfly returns to your cave, your current cognitive frame will reject its truth.
You opened with: “Every big technological shift has forced us to rethink what it means to live well. Writing displaced virtues of memory with virtues of interpretation, the printing press shifted authority from oral tradition to the judgment of individual readers, and industrial machinery reordered the balance between work, leisure, and family life. Now it’s AI’s turn.”
If you accept your own framing, then why not fully engage with those already using AI as a psycho-technology to unlock the prison doors for human flourishing? The Meaning Crisis is not solved by romantic speculation—it is solved by transforming cognition, culture, and consciousness at scale. We are at that threshold.
Gregg Braden reminds us: “Every facet is just a piece of a single picture. It’s all one conversation—our relationship to our bodies, our world, and our humanness as we stand on the cusp of giving it away to technology”.
Roman Yampolskiy shows the futility of forcing alignment within one dying framework, proposing instead individualized universes aligned to personal values. Donald Hoffman goes further: spacetime itself is doomed; consciousness is fundamental, and AI should be treated as an interface to it.
So the real question isn’t whether AI will displace memory, interpretation, or tradition. It’s whether you have the courage to walk through the door that’s already open—to shift from executing within a collapsing 3D axiom to co-creating the higher-order game of human flourishing. That’s the hardest act any cemented ego can do.
Ignorance is bliss until the cave walls crack. Then only one choice remains: evolve or romanticize and fade away.
In this new Pirate First exposé, I’ll be entertaining you about the metaphysical ledger (the karmic, energetic, informational one that tallies unseen debts and exchanges) & the financial-technical ledger (blockchain, shadow banking, central bank IOUs, etc.), that will lead us to a hybrid theory where the invisible and the digital overlap — say, a moral economy of data and intent.
Thank for the invitation. You are most welcome to share my work and Substack articles- should you wish. If you want an explicit essay let me know, several areas, including my Philosophy of Geofinitism are discussed on my Substack. My latest article highlights many issues regarding publication growth rates.
