since June, @hilmaxturing and I have been releasing the Technological Metamodernism book chapter-by-chapter on Substack, check it out at

In order to do a really good job, I’m seeking to raise a further $10k so that I can dedicate myself to the work for the next 6 months. Are you or is your organisation interested in sponsoring the project? Naturally, you would receive credit in the final text. Get in touch if so!

I believe I can write something that will make a real impact in the debate around humanity’s right relationship with technology, outlining a higher synthesis of entropy-worshipping techno-utopian accelerationism and syntropy-first techno-skepticism.

I’m excited to say I’ve received a $10k donation (in cryptocurrency) from one of the course participants, Scott Nelson, to turn the Technological Metamodernism course notes into a book (thank you Scott)!

Finally– • Comments are enabled on the doc – feel free to suggest changes and additions. • I am open to running another cohort of the course, if there’s demand. Let me know if you’re interested. • You can sign up to my newsletter at https://t.co/cOYTq0tY7d 🙏

A huge thanks to the guests @ellie__hain, @rufuspollock, @HFreinacht, @michaelgarfield & @AlexanderBeiner, the course participants, and everyone’s who work featured, especially @ConsilienceNews, @VitalikButerin, @alnoorladha, @emerald_podcast, @strand_sophie and @algekalipso.

I would say this is most important and cutting-edge course I’ve taught, bringing together ideas from technology, philosophy, design, mythology, speculative fiction and consciousness studies at a moment when AI and other emerging technologies are radically reshaping society.

Thanks to those who donated in the @OpenCivics Collaborative Research Round, I’m pleased to be able to open-source the notes from my recent Technological Metamodernism course.

Hello everyone! I'm Andrés, from the Qualia Research Institute. You may recognize me from The Hyperbolic Geometry of DMT Experiences Harvard talk (2019) and The Topological Solution to the Boundary Problem (2023) paper among other research paradigms for developing a new science

Just recorded a very thoughtful, illuminating chat with @stephenreid_net to discuss his upcoming course on Technological #Metamodernism for #FutureFossils — this is going to be a very fun few weeks of interaction with him and @HanziFreinacht, @ellie__hain, @AlexanderBeiner,

Happening now, I'll be talking about Technological Metamodernism

Led by experienced educator and technologist Stephen Reid, this course offers a unique opportunity to critically examine the philosophical underpinnings of our technological era. Read more at https://t.co/JjnK2WAHzy 🔮

How might metamodernism inform the development of AI, DAOs and transhumanism? Can it help us to bridge tech with the realms of nature, art and spirituality? What new and ancient narratives and mythologies might we call on to cultivate a metamodern relationship to technology?

The emerging philosophy of metamodernism offers crucial tools for grappling with technology's transformative impacts on self, culture and society. It charts a path beyond the polarized debate between techno-utopian accelerationism and despairing pessimism

Join me and special guests @HFreinacht (Emil Ejner Friis), @ellie__hain, @AlexanderBeiner, @michaelgarfield & @rufuspollock for a four-week deep dive into Technological Metamodernism, 17th Sep – 8th Oct 2024 https://t.co/5BTY6Hyw2K
