Introducing Alterego: the world’s first near-telepathic wearable that enables silent communication at the speed of thought.
Alterego makes AI an extension of the human mind.
We’ve made several breakthroughs since our work started at MIT.
We’re announcing those today.
"We need a creative ecosystem that depicts futures where “big stuff gets done,"...we need cultural institutions that celebrate humanity’s neverending journey. Billionaires can play their part too, by underwriting dramas that show futures worth striving for. Culture, and especially sci-fi, is not a sideshow but central to progress itself. It gives us the imaginative runway to believe that disruption is worth the tumult, and that a better world is ours to invent." workingintelligence.ai/posts…

Meet @bradkeywell: entrepreneur, philanthropist, and cofounder of Street Philosopher Society.
From founding billion-dollar tech companies to launching global platforms for ideas and art, Brad has spent his life turning vision into reality. But beneath the business acumen is a relentless seeker focused on building a life with meaning, purpose, and the pursuit of wisdom.
That’s why he created SPS with @ShakaSenghor: to spotlight the thinkers shaping our world not through theory, but through experience.

This visualization shows the occurrence of earthquakes on Earth between July 2017 and July 2018, but differently from other charts, this ones shows them with their depth.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances." — Viktor Frankl

As the psychologist Carl Jung once advised a patient reeling from personal crisis and a sense of despair about the world, we must “quietly do the next and most necessary thing.” Stay present and do the right thing—right here, right now.

"The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Power is what all messiahs really seek: not the chance to serve." --HL Mencken

- Just one dragonfly can consume over one hundred mosquitos in a day
- Dragonflies can fly backwards
- They have nearly 360-degree vision
- Their wings inhibit bacterial growth due to their natural structures
- They're actually beautiful
This is not stained glass, it's a wing.

Everyone is posting that the annualized number is about $1.059 trillion.
However the interest on the debt for just May 2024 was $103 billion. Debt will grow another $2 trillion or more in the next 12 months.
We are already on pace for over $1.2 trillion in annualized payments on the debt. Within the next few years, interest on the debt will exceed Social Security payments and become the largest item in the budget.
