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.

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

Sound, software, and strategy. One of the best curators of ideas I know.
-
Writes La La Chimera, stirrings and visions on consciousness and culture. Also builds real-world community at Fractal in New York.
-
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.
