   THE QUEST TO UNDERSTAND INFLUENCING MACHINES
   
   We need to rethink how we deal with information in the context of crises. All
   of us, really. We, the digital users of the digitised information world, need
   to get a grip on things. How we explore the world, what and who we trust, and
   why, in the context of crises, has gotten too far out of our hands and needs
   to change. We need a place to come together. We need to reinvent how we talk
   about and solve difficult things while respecting any fundamental differences
   we might come to the table or screen with.

   THE TECH OUROBOROS: ABOUT THE DIGITISED CULTURE OF CONSUMPTION
   
   We are in the business of developing tools that allow us to eat our own tail,
   and AI is the new big mouth that we have just invented to help us with this
   self-consuming task incredibly effectively. In this spiral of
   self-consumption, everything tastes the same - it is impossible to verify
   sources and provenance and impossible to separate disgusting opinions from
   facts. It seems that fiction is much more popular than non-fiction in this
   reading club of self-consumers.

   THERE IS PLASTIC IN THE CLOUDS
   
   Understanding the real scale and scope and consequences of the environmental
   crisis depends on how digital technology influences our thinking about it in
   terms of scale and depth and short and long term consequences, as well as
   what solutions we can imagine to create and deploy against all this chaos.
