From Manifesto to Movement (join the Augmentatism Community)
Friends, For the past several weeks, we have been architecting a new philosophy for sovereign human-AI co-evolution. We gave it a name: Augmentatism.

The Augmented Mind Qualification: Recognised as university-level learning
Hello, Pioneer.

The Great Reversal: How AI Therapy is Redefining Human Connection
We’re witnessing something unprecedented in the history of mental healthcare. For decades, critics argued that artificial intelligence could never match human empathy or genuine emotional connection.

Your Students Aren’t Lazy. Their Brains Are Being Rewired
For thirty years, I’ve worked at the experimental edge of education, music, and technology. I’ve built systems, taught in classrooms from conservatoires to communities of ex-addicts, and fought to fix a model that I knew, intuitively, was failing the very people it was meant to serve. But today, the quiet hum of dysfunction has become…

One minute, AI is the inevitable future. The next, the very architects of that future, like OpenAI’s Sam Altman, are warning that “investors as a whole are overexcited about AI”.

AI Isn’t a Tool for School. It’s the End of School As We Know It
For over 150 years, the education system has operated on a simple, industrial-age promise: follow our curriculum, earn the qualification, and you will be prepared for the world of work.

Your AI’s “Great Book” Will Be Alien. And That’s the Point. I feel a specific kind of exhaustion watching the public debates about AI and creativity.
