Publisher's summary

AS THE META-CRISIS DEEPENS, THE FATE OF CIVILIZATION AND HUMANITY HANGS IN THE BALANCE.

First Principles and First Values is the tip of the spear in the fight for a humane future. Establishing frameworks for a new school of thought called CosmoErotic Humanism, the book is built around forty-two propositions that provide new source code for the future of planetary culture.

Like Europe in the early Renaissance, humanity is in a time between worlds, at a time between stories. First Principles and First Values contains blueprints for the bridge needed to cross from this world to the next.

Clearest sensemaking on Meta-crisis

I am blown away by unusual precision of science and ethics woven into a guide for how to navigate the crisis of humanity. This kind of book is a once in a generation manual for seeing clearly a new way of thinking.

Clear and profound global narrative

such a clear distillation of the global situation and a cutting look at what can be done to steer from the worst scenarios.
it's rare to get so close to the root of our problems and actually see a way forward!

One of the most important books of our time

This book is a flawless undertaking of how we solve the meta crisis through the birth of a new story of humanity’s role in the cosmos. Focusing on first principles through soft and hard sciences from the sub atomic to the cosmic- there is an order to consciousness and a way it moves through us. This book is a must read for anyone who feels lost looking out into our bizarre world. It informs, inspires, and activates one’s spirit to move back in alignment with all that is.

A new perspective on humanity challenges

This book is for those who care about the future, It does not only provides a clear insight into the risks humanity is facing, but, even more importantly, it accurately outlines the path to turning the crisis into an opportunity. What I find remarkable is the author's ability to address the common root of the problems, thus envisioning a 'cure' that doesn't merely stop at the symptoms but constitutes a genuine evolutionary healing.

Emerging through the crisis by articulating value and living for it!!

I loved the idea of emerging from Homo Sapiens to Homo Amor. The ability to move from Crisis to Crossing over into a way of being and doing that adds value to our lives and others! The importance of understanding and articulating what we all value and using that to make global decisions during this critical time in history! Amazing!!
