Speaking - Keynote Addresses
“A Great Keynote Should Significantly Improve our Leadership Perspectives”
“The Death of Thought: How We Lost our Minds in Mechanicsville”
A penetrating yet highly practical look at how our mechanical worldviews distort our capacity for thought – particularly to envision the future.
“Anthropolis Rising: Rehumanizing Organizations in an Age of Replacement”
The theme of this address is the hope that exists for humanity in rising up in the face of replacement, and in restoring our personhood and communities.
“Replacing the Humans: The False Promises of Technology and Psychology”
This is the story of how applied technology and psychology lead to more manipulation than liberation, and better prediction than inspiration.
“The Logic of Illusion: The Fallacies that Rule our Thinking”
The logical fallacies and distortions of Mechanicsville are exposed and the antidote to the false reasoning of dehumanization is articulated with a passion.
“AI and the Future of Human Thought: Ally or Adversary?”
While AI might “save us from ourselves,” this talk speaks to the inevitable decline in human thought found in the forms of imagination and wisdom.
The Path to Insight: Recovering Imagination in an Age of Replacement”
The message in this address is the reestablishment of insight, imagination, and foresight that is lost to the cold calculations coming out of Mechanicsville.
“Life is Not a Game: From Rules and Scores to Quests and Destinations”
In a world dominated by the “game-format,” the focus of this talk is rather on engaging organizations in a “quest-format” - with destinations versus scores.
“No Straight Lines: Organizations Rise or Collapse Exponentially”
For those who need to be reminded, this address speaks to the fact that our natures create “bends” in our future trajectories that are never straight-lined.
