Vision: Wakanda* is ours.
*Wakanda is a fictional, independent African nation and the home of the superhero Black Panther. It is depicted as the most technological advanced nation on the planet while remaining grounded in an African ethos.
Mission: We design liberation technologies that free the soul*.
Soul is the inner birthplace of genius in service of all that is good, not evil. It is the mystery responsible for "Eureka!".
How?
1. Leverage the Medici Effect.
“Breakthrough ideas often emerge when different fields, industries, or cultures intersect, creating fertile ground for cross-pollination of ideas and the emergence of novel solutions to complex problems.”
2. Build renaissance teams.
“By applying the principles of mass production to the 19th-century model of the solitary inventor, Edison created a process in which skilled scientists, machinists, designers, and others collaborated at a single facility to research, develop, and manufacture new technologies.”
3. Refine the fractals: same creative flow at different scales of applications (individual and collective)
Design Principles: Remix Pedagogy + Biomimicry + Spirit + Technology = Liberation/Lush Life
EXAMPLE: At our quarterly “soul cypher”, an electrical engineer prototypes a sustainable climate tech solution drawn by an artist’s ink illustration inspired by a shaman’s observation of a red-tailed hawk hovering.
