We developed this program to help create a pathway through uncertainty. To reclaim human process knowledge that also applies to the future. That process is partly based on the future component of identity and concepts of embodied cognition — an integration of mind, body and environment — being explored in many of the books above.
We also want to share a positive perspective on the future. In this brief video Andy Clark discusses how extended mind, an area of embodied cognition, integrates beneficial technology into our future. As quoted in the New Yorker by the philosopher Ned Block, “the extended mind thesis was false in 1995 but is true now".
