Helping professionals use AI without losing what makes their work valuable and meaningful

Modrn Mind

For professionals like me, who earn by thinking.

AI is changing how we think, communicate, and work together.

I research and publish on how to use AI strategically. How to amplify our thinking and productivity while preserving what makes us valuable: how we think and decide, our original perspective, our ability to grow and stay relevant.

Explore the Modern Mind Knowledge Base – research on AI and human thinking, structured for your AI or for you to browse directly.

I advise organizations on building AI cultures that strengthen rather than replace human capability.

If you want to bring this thinking to your team or organization - Let’s talk.

My Philosophy

Technology exists to serve humanity, not the other way around. We’ve reversed this relationship.

Algorithms shape our choices for profit, not empowerment. Systems maximize screen time over genuine connection. Workplace tools prioritize surveillance over trust. Social platforms amplify polarization, dividing families and radicalizing communities. They damage our children through comparison-driven anxiety and cyberbullying.

We design for efficiency and engagement rather than human flourishing. We celebrate technical capability while ignoring human impact.

I’m not anti-technology - I’ve built it for two decades. The answer isn’t rejection. It’s rebuilding the relationship. Using technology thoughtfully, with both optimism and skepticism. That’s what drives this work.

Long-Term Interests

Beyond Modrn Mind, I’m researching adjacent problems in the technology-humanity relationship: safe AI for children’s development, addiction-free smartphone alternatives, and business models that don’t depend on attention exploitation.

These represent long-term interests, not active initiatives. Modrn Mind is my focus.
