An open-source initiative for technology in service of human flourishing.
ThinkHumane is an initiative I founded for the people building, studying, and stewarding the technologies that are rewriting the human story. It's open-source by design: doctors, biotech founders, scientists, and technologists working in public on the questions that matter most before they harden into defaults. The mission is simple to state and hard to live up to: technology should enhance human life and protect what's most worth protecting.

Genetics, blockchain, quantum computing, organoid intelligence, and brain-computer interfaces are converging fast. The harder question is interoperability: how these fields agree to talk to each other, and whose values they encode when they do. Decisions made now (about data rights, governance, who gets to shape what) will set the defaults for decades. ThinkHumane exists to keep that conversation open between practitioners and the public, before the standards harden into things we can't easily change.
I designed the ThinkHumane logo as an encrypted H and T. The H reads first, anchoring the eye. The T attaches to it as a small plus, carrying two meanings at once: the 'think' from the name, and 'technology' added in support of the human. The hierarchy of the mark is the philosophy of the initiative. Humanity leads. The rest is in service.
The work shows up in a few places: educational resources for experts and laypeople alike (gene editing, BCIs, data privacy), a newsletter and publications including The Connected Being, and webinars and gatherings that turn the philosophy into shared practice. The next chapter is events and a global community: a network of practitioners and citizens tied together by a shared conviction that technology should support human flourishing, not erode it. I designed and built thinkhumane.com as the first public home for that work.
ThinkHumane is the work I keep returning to: the philosophical thread running underneath every other project I take on. The next wave of technology will redefine what it means to be human, and the world will need frameworks for participating in shaping it. This is one attempt at building that.
