Work, ideas and the record behind them

Alex starts with finance. His work at OpenAlpha grows out of years spent asking how to rebalance financial power. His work with the Kwaxala team asks whether Indigenous stewards can make forest regeneration pay for itself.

Alex explores what it means to renew the sacred through art and contemplative practice. At Tulku he asks whether artificial minds can learn to recognize and care for the lives their choices affect.

What becomes possible when the infrastructure gets stronger and the people it serves keep meaningful control?
