Purpose

The purpose of the Giordano Bruno Institute is to build a worldwide platform for people to maximize their use of technology in the 21st century. Based on projections in The Machine Economy, we believe radical acceleration is coming and radical change is needed. We believe technology should help and work with people, not turn them into passive targets for advertising. We believe the advertising industry should be cut in roughly half, and people should use their own personal data for their own benefit. We think large tech companies dominating industries is not optimal for society. We need technology, but it should be governed by its users, not by a handful of huge corporates with their own agendas. We also want to train young people to work and learn without formal education. We want to help the future shapers of tomorrow learn to use the scientific method, Bayesian reasoning, and cost-benefit analysis to understand and fix the big problems in the world. In short, we want to build systems for thinking, learning, and communicating that will benefit everyone in the years of acceleration to come. We are just getting started. Join us.
