If AI is the next Hadestown—efficient, secure, but potentially dehumanizing—then Orpheus is the mythmaker, the artist, the remixer. A reminder that we are still here, and that meaning can emerge even inside the machine.
In a sense, that's exactly what we’re doing when we look for the most disruptive ideas: we’re searching for the fixed points in the system—the things it won’t change, can’t change, because everything else depends on them.
Tim: > “AIGORA isn’t just a technical blueprint—it’s a moral imperative. We must design systems that reflect our highest values.”
I was there—on the drafting call, in the back corner of a drafty conference room in the Pentagon’s E-ring. And I’ll tell you something that never made it into the record: halfway through, one of the junior drafters—we called her LT—looked up and asked, “Wait… are we actually going to do this? Or is this just another polite lie we tell ourselves about interoperability?”
Julia Freeland Fisher (on Class Disrupted) puts her finger on the real existential risk of AI: ensuring we prioritize human connection over simulated experiences.
came of age in the 1980s, as the C programming language and UNIX operating system were becoming the gold standard for "serious" computing. I was taught that: - Lisp reflects how computers **think** - C reflects how computers **work** - Shell scripts reflect how humans **write** I never questioned this split ....
Missional pioneers don’t fail because they lack vision. They fail because they lack a structure that provides both gritty grace and painful kindness—the two forces required to trigger transformation. They need hohlraums…
Brahman: "You have seen how the loops of causation evolve, each encompassing new dimensions of reality. Now, I challenge you to identify what lies beyond Status—what is the Sixth Loop? Is it grounded in mind, consciousness, technology, or something even more profound?"
Athena: Humanity has mastered the physical, thrived biologically, developed language to shape meaning, and built narratives to create purpose. But beneath it all lies a more primal force: Status. Is this the hidden engine of causation, organizing hierarchies, influencing behavior, and even steering entire civilizations? Let’s discuss.
