About Origin2: The Age of Intent
△Ct Humanity stands at the edge of its second origin, a moment of self-determination.
“This is not the story of what comes next. It is the story of whether humanity thrives or dies”
We hold the tools to redesign evolution itself: to alter life’s code, to create artificial minds, to shape both atmosphere and atom. Yet for all our power we remain uncertain of our purpose.
Origin² defines the threshold of a new epoch, Telocene, the Age of Intent. It marks the shift from unconscious evolution to deliberate creation, from adaptation to design. In this age the question is no longer what humanity can do but what it should do and how intent can be governed at planetary scale.
At the heart of the book lies the Ascension Equation, a framework for civilizational unity and progress. It unites technology, access, sustainability, morality and culture into a model that shows how a species advances toward coherence or collapses under its own complexity.
The author argues that the future is not an extension of the past but a system of choices shaped by alignment, foresight and ethical design. Survival demands that intelligence be guided by purpose, that power be matched by restraint and that progress serve something more enduring than itself.
