Work on human dignity, power of choice, and how systems work
Context
Through the work of my grandfather and father, I was exposed early to questions of human rights, responsibility, and public life. Their work, including that reflected in Peaceful Planet, helped shape the perspective from which I approach current projects.
I do not see this work as originating with me, but as a continuation—developing and applying these principles across new domains, including education, infrastructure, and civic systems.
In fact, the work draws on a long, historical tradition of reflection on human dignity, extending back three to four thousand years.
The aim is to carry these ideas forward in practical, contemporary forms.
