What you often see on your explore, discover, newsfeed, etc. is what content that can evoke an emotional response. These platforms are judging your behavior through macro (liking, commenting, sharing or saving) and micro interactions (hover, number of replays, app quits, etc.).

Biology influences technology. Evolution, the original innovator, provided blueprints for many of today’s prominent technologies. The artificial neural networks now attracting hundreds of billions of dollars, for example, are based on the way neurons are organized in the brain.

Medical ethics was built around professional+patient+decision. AI operates across supply chains, social platforms, hiring algorithms, and govt infrastructure. If the people harmed by AI systems often have no relationship w/ the orgs building them, what does accountability look like in practice?

Parents carry years of real expertise into work every day and none of it reaches their kid's classroom. Curriculum can't keep pace with how fast the world moves. Connecting classrooms to problems people today are solving helps fix that. Let's reimagine the future of education.
🚨Sept 15: AI summary quality is likely to go down. Cloudflare sites will block AI crawlers on pages containing advertising. Up to 30% of the world’s top sites will no longer appear in Google AI Overviews. Much of what AI is being trained on will itself be AI-generated text.
Most exec AI courses teach you a curriculum that's outdated by the time you finish. We teach you how to think about change itself, so you can spot what's next without waiting for someone to tell you.
Final 2026 cohort. Applications close Sept 27.
Most people push today's technology a little further and call it the future. That won't get you to the moon. Imagine a future world, give it future problems, then imagine the technology people there would need to solve them. That's Exponential Thinking.
