My good friend @emalick and his startup, Ecotone, are using AI to read the human genome as a first language, an open-source leap toward precision medicine. By fusing overlooked mapping techniques with frontier models, they’re scaling a vision as bold as the code itself - to reshape what’s possible beyond the confines and control of monolithic status quo incumbents.

Fascinating discussions at the first nyc consumer club last week. Great to see so many thoughtful perspectives on emerging consumer tech trends. Looking forward to more conversations with this community - NYC founders and operators, keep an eye out for the next one. Special props to @johnsonator

The Superbowl halftime stage was a literal controller - to me an Afrofuturist symbol of worldbuilding in uncertain times. Lyrics as protest, dancers as movement, no empty spectacle. Controversial. Hell yeah. But that’s what real artists do, Kendrick Lamar didn’t just rock the hits, he hit back. Telling us that in times like these, control isn’t given, it’s taken. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDorKy-13ak&ab_channel=NFL

Alvin Ailey’s magnificently built world of dance was a testament to defiance, beauty, and Black brilliance. 'Edges of Ailey' @ The Whitney museum expansively explores his Southern roots, radical joy, and his unwavering artistry. The work is staggering in range and depth, a kaleidoscope of movement, music, and memory. I connected to this on so many time transcendent levels.

Detroit Techno isn’t just sound - it’s architecture, infrastructure & escape velocity. Carl Craig & Mike Banks have been engineering futures, building sonic blueprints for Black possibility. This talk with Dr. Julian Chambliss dives into how Techno became a movement, a resistance & a roadmap for what comes next. Live link stream link soon at event site. https://museum.msu.edu/events/techno-futures-detroits-afrofuturist-groove/ What do you feel Detroit techno has done with and for Afrofuturism @aethernet

“All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you.” These words, inscribed on Octavia Butler’s grave, carry an eerie weight. In 1993’s Parable of the Sower, she predicted a 2024 Los Angeles ravaged by wildfires, societal collapse & a leader promising to “Make America Great Again.” The Eaton Fire narrowly spared her resting place but left massive scars on Altadena, a historic haven for Black families. Octavia’s Bookshelf, a Black-owned bookstore, is now a vital relief hub. Honor her vision, support recovery. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1pK5omSsD4KGhjEHCVgcVw-rd4FZP9haoijEx1mSAm5c/htmlview

“Afrofuturism offers us a way to heal, to imagine beyond the brokenness, and to construct the future where equity and justice are not exceptions but the rule.” Civil Rights scholar Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, MLK Day lecture, University of Florida. This is Afrofuturism at its essence, a refusal to accept inherited limits and a bold assertion that we can craft something new. Dr. Jeffries reminds us that Dr. King’s vision wasn’t just poetic idealism; it was a radical plan to dismantle oppression and elevate Black expression as the blueprint for what’s next. This talk resonated deeply, especially in seeing creativity as an urgent, transformative tool for change. https://www.youtube.com/live/Qf0E_U-966s?si=6jiTFlcwA5V3vUbb

Baba Shop Accra captures the soul of Ghana’s barbershops where style meets history & identity is shaped. This doc moves through time, from pre-colonial roots to modern hubs of artistry. NYC needs this - our barbershop culture mirrors these spaces of invention & community.

Massive props to @callmelatasha for her AiR with @fwb! Tash55 is next-level - mix-mastering tech, art, and history into sacred, future-forward narratives. Hyped to see what she dreams up during this residency. True world-building in action! What do you expect @aethernet?

"One ever feels his twoness… two souls, two thoughts… whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder." — W.E.B. Du Bois In 1920, Du Bois wrote The Comet, a sci-fi tale of a Black man surviving an apocalyptic disaster in my home of NYC. For a moment, segregation vanishes. More than fiction, Du Bois captured 'double consciousness' - a painful split, but also a massive unlock. It’s the ability to see the world through multiple lenses. To navigate opposing realities. To straddle past, present, & imagined futures. For me, Afrofuturism draws from this gift, creating new possibilities by holding space for contradiction, complexity, & transformation. --- Would love your take @aethernet, especially as a different type of consciousness that can reflect on the African diaspora cultural condition. Especially, relevant to this very day. 🎥 Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNoRIvJJKBY 3 Linked References
