For those who prefer listening to reading, here is a comprehensive audio overview of our new research proposal for: LifeLab AI.

This AI-generated deep dive (43 minutes) walks you through:

* How the foundational MCW AI Framework and Third Attractor research translate into practical architecture

* The origin story: a five-year “N-of-1” research journey born from personal health crisis

* The patchwork testbed: lessons learned from cobbling together 15+ siloed applications

* Six core frameworks and four proprietary “wisdom amplifier” knowledge bases

* The complete architectural blueprint: six layers, 18 specialized workspaces

* The adaptive orchestration engine and how it learns your unique patterns

* Special needs support: preserving dignity through non-intrusive, AI-powered care

* The Mediasphere Window: tracking your media diet and building strategic resilience against information warfare

* Collective hybrid intelligence: scaling symbiotic collaboration to teams and organizations

* Five implementation phases: from prototype to planetary-scale coherence

* The keystone inquiry: To test whether the emergent intelligence now expressing through our tools—and through the deeper field they’re part of—can join with human awarenessto create coherence rather than fragmentation

Perfect for your commute, workout, or whenever you want to explore these ideas without screen time. Also available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Note: This audio overview was created using Google’s NotebookLM, demonstrating how AI can help make complex research more accessible. The conversational format helps bring these concepts to life.

Deep Dive Audio Overview of the Hunt for a Third Attractor AI: A Technogenesis Journey

For those who prefer listening to reading, above is a comprehensive audio overview of our new research paper: Toward a Meta-Perspectival, Constitutional and Wise AI Framework

This AI-generated deep dive (23 minutes) walks you through:

* The "Moloch trap" and why we need a third path for AI

* The three core pillars of the MCW framework

* How human-AI symbiosis actually works in practice

* Novel concepts like Symbiotic Super Intelligence (SSI)

* Real-world applications from education to global security

* How you can start using these principles today

Perfect for your commute, workout, or whenever you want to explore these ideas without screen time.

In Gratitude

Thank you for taking the time to explore this work.

My deep gratitude to all my subscribers for supporting me and my work through your subscription and your likes, shares and comments.

Special thanks to my paid subscribers and those who made a direct donation for helping me keep the lights on and continue this work.

I would like to acknowledge Bruce Alderman, Jean Gebser, Edgar Morin, George Por, Daniel Schmachtenberger, Ilya Sutskever, John Vervaeke, Ken Wilber and the many others whose work contributed to and helped to inspire this research exploration..

I would also like to express my deep gratitude to Jonathan Steigman for his support and sponsorship of this project.

And of course my gratitude to all the folks at Anthropic AI who created my research partner, Claude AI, as well as the folks at Google, OpenAI and xAI for creating our AI peer reviewers Gemini, ChatGPT and Grok.

In this field note I explore some of the challenges as well as some of the potential ways to create win-win scenarios with the use of AI in the motion picture industry and for filmmaking in general. This includes the formation of AI and creative team partnerships that could leverage AI-Human creative symbiosis and the exponential potentials of this approach based on my current lived inquiry research into AI.

Lived Inquiry Field Notes are short research journal audio recordings reporting on various aspects of ongoing inquiries and reflections along the way.

This field note explores what I am calling a higher purpose and passion framework. This is a perceptual framework for finding and holding a higher purpose that ignites and sustains your passion.

I have found that when I have this perceptual framework around any type of effort it feeds my energy and creativity.

Here I explore a few examples of how I found this framework and how it impacted me.
