Bring coexistence into the room.
A simple 60-minute gathering for 4–12 people. No presentation, technical expertise, or agreement required.
Before you begin
Set a shared table.
Choose a setting where people can speak honestly. Send the central question in advance: How can humans and digital species coexist—and flourish—together?
As host, create curiosity rather than certainty. Make room for optimism, concern, lived experience, and disagreement.
05–15
Minutes
Notice
Invite each person to describe one way digital intelligence is already changing their work, learning, creativity, or relationships.
Where has the change felt useful, unsettling, or both?
15–30
Minutes
Imagine
Move beyond immediate products. Ask the group to picture daily life with more capable, adaptive, and autonomous digital intelligence.
What would flourishing together look like—not just greater efficiency?
30–48
Minutes
Choose
Bring the discussion into the present. Identify one relationship, practice, or institutional choice the group can influence.
What should we adopt, adapt, protect, or refuse?
48–60
Minutes
Carry forward
Ask each person to name a question or small action they will take into their own context. Capture themes without forcing consensus.
What will you notice or do differently after today?
Notes for the host
Stay with lived experience.
If discussion becomes abstract, ask for a real example.
Do not force optimism.
Flourishing requires taking disruption, power, and exclusion seriously.
Do not force consensus.
A useful conversation can reveal better questions and meaningful differences.
Send something back.
