Purpose

Technology offers us an almost limitless stream of media, people, and ideas to consume and engage with.

We pay for this with our time and attention.

Over time, misaligned incentives, algorithmic design, and collective action traps erode our capacity to feel truly alive—to feel human.

Connectedness does not equal humanness.

Humanness demands a multi-dimensional approach to life: a commitment to deep relationships with loved ones, ourselves, the natural world, and the divine.

Technology should serve as a facilitator—not a mediator or substitute—for these essential connections.

We hope this publication helps readers overcome addictive or destructive tech habits, and, ultimately, feel more human.
