hello i'm sam, a cultural entrepreneur, human systems researcher, and founding curator at seapunk studios
selected philosophies and curiosities:
- homo curatus — a post-homo-economicus way of life at the confluence of curiosity, curation, and care
- high-quality attention circles — thoughtful listeners and learners, not creators, are our bottleneck
- community as immunity — the best store of surplus wealth is in the people and ecologies around us
- how concepts become culture — how groups and societies learn / adopt new tech, ideas, habits
- deep human learning — what makes us wiser, how people grow and transform at being levels
- southeast asian and planetary futures — amidst paxes, superpowers, sea rise, and polycrises
- the better-living potential of tech — the point of web3 is world3; but what world do we want?
- from nomad to normal — how will us all working online reshape our world and institutions offline?
