Dustin Thompson –
Working toward a new renaissance.
I am an optimist when viewing our present challenges as the difficult but temporary struggles ahead of a new renaissance. Breakthroughs in thought and technology give me confidence that innovators will unleash our world's full creative potential, opening fresh opportunities for entrepreneurship and liberating people to build lives aligned with personal truths. I envision decentralization and AI as heralding an uplifting future when guided by those of us who wish to build a better world.

Learning Oriented
