We're excited about how tech can be used to get tech out of the way.
You make a ton of progress by making a ton of mistakes.

We know in our hearts that technology at its best should make us feel even more human than we currently feel. Sometimes it makes us feel less human.
flawed gives god good judgments list
We don't have some message from God that gives us a list of what's good and what's not good. Obviously, we have to make our own flawed judgments about each thing.

Our goal is not to produce immediate results. We've been tasked with producing long-term results. That means that there's more risk in any individual thing we take on. But we still aspire to a strong return on investment.

Our culture already has a number of well known stories about artificial life and non-human intelligence. In 'Exegesis,' I've tried to not only tell a new and engaging story but also to comment on those well known stories through the details of my novel.
