Perpetual Optimism is a Force Multiplier

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” — Winston Churchill

In 1903, we barely left the ground . By 1969, we stood on the moon . What once seemed impossible became reality through persistence and optimism.

Augmenting Humanity

We reject AI doomerism. Focus on possibilities, not fear
Children represent our hope. We build for their future
Humanity progresses faster than it feels
AI is a tool—like electricity or the telephone. It’s not the first revolution, nor the last
History shows resilience. We adapt, mitigate risks, and move forward
Airplanes once terrified—yet they helped humanity reach the moon and connect the world

Safety is non-negotiable. Protecting people is the baseline
- AI safety == human safety. If we haven’t solved human safety, we haven’t solved AI safety.
- AI alignment == human alignment. Misaligned societies can’t build aligned systems.
AI safety requires human alignment first
Fear and progress must be balanced—panic stalls; awareness guides
Building for our kids ensures safety is built-in, purpose drives caution
Airplanes once terrified—yet they helped humanity reach the moon and connect the world

Optimism drives solutions; fear paralyzes
Hope fuels persistence. Failures aren’t endpoints
Every breakthrough began as a dream. We build toward better because we believe in it
Perpetual optimism multiplies effort and impact
