MEANING

caling Meaning is a different reality to one that complies with existing models & narratives.

Along this terrain, intuition & uncertainty don't just remain as options, they become necessities.

But with no societal yardstick to measure the value of such explorations, honest attempts to express them end up esoteric & vague.

Here goes nothing, as we share our unconventional life as a curated work of art, via 3 aspects of Zen Black.

Stories

In a world where people are judged by a show of achievements, we walk to a different beat — by laying out experiences that shape a human life.
‍
These are tales from a road less traveled, mixing intuitive adventures, raw trips through the furnace of adversity, and uncommon insights that guided our path.

Something special happens at the intersection of Adversity, Skill, and Taste: You find the conditions to nurture a living philosophy Tooltip image .

But to blend utility with meaning, you have to sit with problems longer than most, deconstruct previously unquestioned components to their essence, & realign them to infuse your values into the end result.

Here aesthetics aren't laid over the top.. they're revealed.

A pursuit

Traveling under the cover of darkness, our values were the only navigation tools we possessed. They led us into absurd unknowns, but also revealed truths hidden in society's blindspot.

Our path has always been guided by values, not vision.

9 TENETS

1. If the pursuit of quality is negotiable, so is your character.

2. Without exploring darkness, your truth is ill-defined.

3. You can only simplify to your capacity to withstand pain.

4. Higher order truth is activated via instincts, not models.

5.Incompliance is a prerequisite for exponential leaps.

6.Plans don't open portals to novel worlds; questions do.

7.Embrace uncertainty & take cues from emergent landscapes.

8.Integrate meaning... Or you'll only optimize for transactions.

9. Show trust. Everyone else will show you a contract.

These tenets, creations & stories blend across time in our pursuit of infusing technology with a sense of meaning — as we head into the next unknown.

Into the
FUTURE

Civilizational advance isn’t simply about a mechanistic universe favoring greater entropyThe 2nd law of thermodynamics guiding 'acceleration manifestos' & energy capture, it's also about a deeper expansion of intuition, meaning & wisdom.

Accelerating technology at all costs, without upgrading inner human faculties, thus, puts society on a perilous course.

It's why our progress via markets & tech, despite immense utility, remains misaligned with human intangibles, & can't guide us to higher states of evolution.

We need something complementary to this techno advance, by creating conditions for intuitive explorers — beyond just left-hemisphere, silicon valley worldviews.

Into the FUTURE

Accelerating technology at all costs, without upgrading inner human faculties, puts society on a perilous course.

Civilizational advance isn’t simply about a mechanistic universe favoring greater entropyThe 2nd law of thermodynamics guiding 'accelerationism manifestos' & energy capture; it’s also about a deeper expansion through intuition, meaning & wisdom.

Reality is a confluence.. & it has purpose.

Look closer, & there are fingerprints across our planet from prior epochsGobekli Tepi, Gunung Padang, and numerous other sites present compelling cases: of civilizations that merged technology & spiritual-cosmic reverence.

But here we are, unaware of the lost arcs of our history beyond a few thousand years, while stagnant in physics paradigmsChemical propulsion, Einsteinian speed limits & String theory. that can’t take us to the stars..

There’s a disconnect between our past, intrinsic truths & our map to the future.

It’s partly why progress via tech & markets, despite immense utility, can't guide us to higher states of evolution.

We need something different — complementary to a techno advance — by accelerating conditions for intuitive explorers to better navigate civilizational stalemates.

Our attention (& investment) nets have to be cast beyond just left-hemisphere, silicon valley worldviews.

Zen Black will take aim at a subset of these disconnects.

The next phase of our pursuit is to:

1. Open up the world of Anti-Experts via high signal curations and models to synthesize across domains.

2. Utilize trust as a power tool for investment into people following unique pathways and/or high agency expression.
