Anyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about the importance of third spaces in society—they’re one of the hidden-in-plain-sight elements that keeps human civilization connected to one another in real, fun ways. The Tower Project is one of my favorite projects I’m following right now not only because it is centered around an essential resource like this (and in my own hometown/community!) but also because of the WAY it’s focusing on reimagining what third spaces can be moving into a new generation.

This path will document some of the experiences, people and insights I encounter in following the project and hopefully give an additional lens on why it is such worthy work to support and get involved in.

Since we did the bus project with our friends at Colegio Mesoamericano, we’ve known that busses are a big part of life in Guatemala. But I had no idea just how cool and vibrant bus culture really is here. These are a few of my favorites seen on our visit to Antigua.

I got the chance to see the 10th anniversary re-release of Interstellar on IMAX this week. This scene brought together some thoughts and feelings I’ve been having for a few months of the state of where our humanity and capacities and limitations all might be made visible to us in new ways in the next phase of AI development (and where it succeeds and fails).

This Path is a gathering of the elements of this conversation in my own mind and an invitation to contribute anything it brings up for you.
