Get onside with the Cosmos.

It’s time our technology platforms served a greater purpose.

It is in energy’s nature to rearrange itself. Like a team of tumbling acrobats, energy transforms itself into increasingly complex arrangements which eventually exceed the acrobatics required to support them. Complexity and density increases, so does entropy; we all fall down.

Over the course of our own cosmic history, energy has been caught in five major waves of entanglement and physical transformation: the big bang, stars and planets, life, and humans.

The graph below, from an excellent paper on the topic by the astrophysicist Professor Eric Chaisson, offers a novel perspective. It suggests that we have always been a part of a much grander design.

We acknowledge that surveying the slope on Prof. Chaisson’s chart can be a bit of a bummer, until you realize that our particular wave hit about 200,000 years ago. And the one before that was Life itself and that was 3.5 billion years ago. And that was…much longer ago….So maybe it is a bit of a bummer. But hey, it looks like this slope could go for another 50,000 years at least, and by then it’ll only be Jeff and Elon left anyway.

Energy rate density describes the amount of free energy flowing through a specific point in space and time. For example, the universe has really low energy rate density, while our networked brains have the highest.

Today the biggest driver of Chaisson’s energy rate density is platform technology, which joins network effects to our baser instincts in order to get us stuff we don’t need, but which we simply must have.

We don’t think that has to be the only option available to us. We feel that it’s time build a different kind of platform. One which rewards collaboration, and not compromise.

To build a solution like this, it takes people who believe there is a good greater than the free market; and we think there’s a lot of you out there who feel the way we do. We want to build a solution for you, because we need to get there too.

Professor Chaisson’s chart can work for us. Tip it onto its right side, and we’re going with the flow, cruising to the beach after an epic ride. It all starts, like a better platform, with a simple change of perspective.
