I invite you to join me on a journey of passive openness & active searching to make sense of this world, and find meaning in life.
A little more groundedly in specifics: with all our knowledge, science, engineering and technology, how do we attend to the world to make the planet, each other and ourselves healthier and healthier? I’m approaching this journey from a background of helping develop new climate technologies as an engineer for 15 years, but feeling my growing disillusionment and disenfranchisement with how technology is used. I’m trying to use that disaffection as energy towards developing technology something greater than technology that’s actually good for the planet and people.
I need your help. The methods and goals for truly transformative change are necessarily radically different than what we’ve been doing, and we (you and I, and all others on a journey like this) will need to co-design, co-evolve, co-create our future. I want to hear about your journey, and how I can help, and what’s resonated with you to date. It is my sincere hope that we connect and resonate – please reach out via LinkedIn
The Alcheme.Tech website represents a few things: a sign post of my consulting business, a commonplace book, and a experiment to integrate my professional & personal lives.
The Challenge
The Challenge – it’s bigger than just climate change
Helpful Frameworks
Guidance I’ve found insightful so far:
- Living in an ever-improving perpetuity with the Earth – getting beyond the banalization of “Sustainability”: Designing Resilient Regenerative Systems (DRRS)
- Complexity as a science: framing from Cynefin
- Net Energy
- The Divided Brain
- Engineering as a creative act
