What's It About?

Our research spans numerous fields, including human rights, mental health, psychedelics and wellness, socially-engaged arts, political analysis and geopolitics, disinformation and the public sphere, Bitcoin and new economic models, spirituality, Islamic history and more.

Some of the unpublished work includes:

Warnings from 2015 about the likely path of Saudi crown prince MBS, before crackdowns and brutality shocked the world
Detailed analyses of the disinformation ecosystem on Twitter from 2016, including plans given to the platform to respond to it
An ongoing deep dive into the future of pro-Palestine activism
A strategic analysis of paths forward for human rights movements in light of the foreign policy of President Biden's administration
Work on the emerging field of psychedelics and mental health

All of this happens in a platform called Roam Research - a "tool for thought" enabling a new kind of note-taking. In it, notes are structured as a network rather than heirarchies, with each note's tags connecting to every other note with those tags. This interconnected web of ideas enables thoughts to evolve, cross-pollinate, interreference and surface links between fields and across time - extremely rich context.
