Watch this video or read the transcript of the kickoff talk for a new series of physical events about how to build off all the key ideas in our series so far & lead others into The Great Progression
With every little discovery in the lab or every unique situation that occurs, I always glimpse a little bit of magic. Today, at the exact moment I started reading your article, my Spotify, which was on shuffle mode, started playing Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold” (1972)—as Neil Young’s voice echoed through my mind, it seemed like the perfect soundtrack for the moment.
As I here in Brazil do my best to participate in the biological revolution, I imagined myself surrounded by the minds of the 250 innovators—the dreamers, the builders, the tireless seekers of what’s next—the vanguard of possibility—who were at the beating heart of San Francisco, ground zero for AI and all the frontiers that stretch beyond it.
I dared to dream of something deeper than just progress. I dreamed of a future where innovation doesn’t just move fast, but moves right, where technology aligns with humanity’s greatest hopes, not just its most eager markets, where we mine not just for profit or power, but for purpose. For wisdom. For a kind of progress that truly feels like a heart of gold.
I hope that infinite wisdom continues to guide me forward and that in the future, we can sit down and share our ideas. Thank you for the opportunity to learn from you. I’m also aware that the “heart of gold” I’m searching for is the one within me.
Thanks for that reflection. It happens that the first musician that I really fell for was Neil Young. And that album was the album that did it back then. There is some alignment going on, as you say.
How does overshoot figure in, where as we act out in the progression you have dealt with so astutely there is a very intelligent cadre pointing to how, even within five years, "collapse" will be sending us back to the Stone Age?

All in, Peter!
