🙋🏼♀️ Course Info Session // Offerings // Media
📝 Embodied Ethics Info Sesh | Wed April 3 | 12-1pm PST
Greetings from home in Berkeley after a full moon cycle on the road 😌
Next Wednesday we’re going to host an Info Session for the Embodied Ethics in The Age of AI course with Josh Schrei & special guests, which starts on April 18th!
See updated course details here. A number of you have enrolled, or have expressed curiosity about enrolling. I want to create some space for you to introduce yourselves, learn more about the course intention, and share questions you’d like addressed and ideas for what would make the experience most impactful.
Last summer’s Emerald x AI episode opened a door to a wide world of wisdom for navigating great power, that has yet to be explored and integrated into public discourse and practice. So a core intention of this course is to walk through that door together, pushing the edges of conversation around initiation, accountability, wise innovation and more.
It’s also a ripe context for this nascent community to start building connective tissue and coherence. Over five weeks of talks, co-learning sessions, and online discourse, we will:
Study what diverse societies through history can teach us in the modern era about power, technology, responsibility, and living in right relationship
Make connections and engage in stimulating discourse with dozens of kindred spirits (backgrounds like Google, Meta, MAPS, Department of Education, startup founders, engineers, leadership coaches, filmmakers, investors, and those simply excited about the topic)
Apply new insights and practices to our lives, organization, and projects
Develop a more grounded, curious, and proactive stance toward technological innovation
Exercise better solo and group sense-making for our era of exponential change
If you’re curious about the course but can’t make the info session, I’d love to hop on a quick call to share more and answer any questions! Let’s find time here.
And if you’d like a primer, feel free to re-listen to last summer’s Emerald episode, or Josh’s recent talks with Alexander Beiner, Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin, and Wisdom 2.0.

📖 Recommended Media
We’re starting to curate relevant essays, podcasts, stories and more. Here are some artifacts I’m appreciating:
Chief Philosophy Officer | Peter Limberg of the Stoa is betting on wisdom and believes that those in power who also place this bet will play a significant role in shaping the future. Stepping into the shoes of an CPO role with wise innovation startup Daylight, Peter sees at least three primary duties: Untying x-knots, being propositionally coherent, and stewarding collective wisdom.
