An artistic, philosophical, and intellectual meeting place to reflect and discuss the state of humanity and the cutting edge discoveries that could alter the paradigm of the human condition—all with the goal of promoting humanism and self-actualization.
We use psychology and curiosity as a tool to peel back the layers of ego and cultural indoctrination that sway us from living compassionate, healthy, and fulfilled lives. By overcoming ideas of nationality, religion, race, gender, greed, success, etc, we overcome the fear that drives us: to mistreat those different than us, to pillage our planet, to abuse addictive forms of escapism to numb our consciousness, etc.
We believe humanity’s core distinctions are its imagination and tool-usage, and so an understanding of technology becomes crucial to our curious and inspiring explorations. To be blunt, we at Curious Apes do not see a possibility of technology stopping its progress so long as our species continues to progress as well (though an apocalypse brought on by selfishness and greed would certainly slow us down). Therefore, rather than fight against it like many might like to do, we accept its inevitability and choose to explore its ethics, practical applications, and social impacts in a way that will not only inspire, but will also allow us to steer this unstoppable force towards a more humanistic zeitgeist.
Words define the abstracts concepts you use to build your perception of reality, and so it is with language that we attempt to further our cause. Humanity is simply a master story created by every individual’s personal story—the question is: what kind of story will you add?
