Friends

inspired by slashfriends.org

  • Sasha Chapin

    Writer. We have written two pieces together, which is the fastest way I know to find out how someone's mind actually works. His newsletter is one of the best things on Substack.

  • Jake Orthwein

    Filmmaker and video essayist at Frame Problems: movies, minds, meaning, and meditation. He asks better questions on camera than most scientists do in a lab.

  • Jeff Lieberman

    Artist and engineer, four MIT degrees, co-founder of Sleepawake Camp. He builds machines that produce wonder, and he means that literally.

  • Ryan Lowe

    AI alignment researcher at the Meaning Alignment Institute, formerly OpenAI. One of the few people thinking seriously about AI and contemplative practice at the same time.

  • Morgan Sutherland

    Sound, software, and strategy. One of the best curators of ideas I know.

  • Tyler Alterman

    Writes La La Chimera, stirrings and visions on consciousness and culture. Also builds real-world community at Fractal in New York.

  • David McRaney

    Science journalist, author of How Minds Change, and host of the You Are Not So Smart podcast. A model for writing about minds in a way that changes them.

An observation: everyone above is a man. This is not because my women friends are less brilliant. It is because almost none of them have websites. If you are one of my brilliant friends without a URL, consider this a public request.
