Our goal is to create a new gold standard for thought modeling—AI systems that don’t merely replicate what a person knows, but how they think: their cognitive style, conceptual architecture, interdisciplinary patterns, and reasoning dynamics.</div><div><br></div><div>We're beginning by building AI models of deeply original thinkers—starting with Howard himself—and extending the project to a select group of philosophical, scientific, and cultural minds whose thought processes we believe are worth preserving, studying, and interacting with in new computational forms.</div><div><br></div><div>You’ve been identified as part of this vital network, and we’d be honored to include your voice and thinking style in the research. Participation would involve minimal time investment—just a few conversations or writings—and you’ll have access to a private, custom GPT that reflects your own ideas and conceptual patterns. This is part of a larger effort to map and simulate high-order human cognition using the most advanced tools available today.</div><div><br></div><div>The purpose isn’t to replace, but to reflect—and ultimately to extend your ideas in dialogue with the future.</div><div><br></div><div>If you’re interested, we’d love to tell you more. Please feel free to reach out with questions or let us know if you’d like to explore further.</div><div><br></div><div>Warmly,</div><div>Ryan Dean</div></div></div></blockquote><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span>with warmth and oomph--howard</span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><div><div>__________________________</div><div>Howard Bloom</div><div>The Howard Bloom Institute</div><div><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://howardbloom.institute__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!WM2UIQuiSJjbNSW3pHpuoj2VQwnnWhXkXJHf38DHShPq1kmoq_4VTXdsMpK2b_mvvPtmGgTdIgCDr018GA$">https://howardbloom.institute</a></div><div>Author of: The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong, coming March, 2025 ("A massive achievement, WOW!"
