Lasting purpose

My passion is building our future and taking a science-inspired look at why what we do matters. The next 200 years will be challenging for humanity’s development, but if we open our eyes to the risks, I am optimistic that we will survive and thrive. Towards that end, I am starting to write down my questions, concerns, and insights—possibly in preparation for a book. This webpage will be updated periodically. Find and follow me on social media:

Everyone yearns to make a difference, but our nonstop activities can get in the way. When was the last time you paused to reflect on the long-term? Perhaps, by intentionally making time to catch our breath, we can expand our perspective and discover a meaningful purpose that gives us value and hope. As a long-term thinker, my goal is to encourage people to become engaged and explore the many underappreciated ways in which the future depends on us.
