I write and work toward a fuller conception of human flourishing in our technological age. My central concern is AI's "flattening" effect on our spirit and capacities, and our self-diminishment in the face of ever-more-powerful and -pervasive technologies.
Through my work, I seek to bridge the humanities and technology — the timeless and the cutting-edge — to better understand and steward the world. I am currently on sabbatical from my job as Storyteller at the AI research company Imbue.
Outside of work, I organize lectures on philosophical ideas shaping public life, host conversations with singular thinkers, and write a blog, Soft Power, on how we can live fully in a world with intelligent machines.
I always aspire to live the questions and to take the road less traveled. If anything piques your curiosity, please send me a note. I’d love to hear what excites you, and see if we can create something beautiful (or stir up some mischief) together.
