About this site
Eu ex Machina
Good from the machine.
What is this?
Eu ex Machina is a creative space for exploring how technologies, systems, and stories can be shaped by—and infused with—our highest values.
It’s a living lab for design ideas, speculative tools, and narrative experiments grounded in love, compassion, growth, courage, and optimism.
These are not abstract values. They are working principles. The projects and essays here ask:
- What would technology look like if it were built to nourish the soul?
- What kind of systems would we design if we valued healing as much as efficiency?
- What futures become possible when we lead with care, not control?
What to Expect
This site is a sandbox, not a showroom.
Expect sketches, thought experiments, prototypes, and sometimes half-finished things. The goal isn’t to impress—it’s to explore. To test how technology might align with what matters most.
Topics range across:
- Soulful interfaces and emotionally intelligent AI
- Utopian design and institutional reimagination
- Learning tools that support personal transformation
- Narrative games and systems for empathy
- Experiments in human-first product design
Why the Name?
Eu ex Machina means “Good from the Machine.”
It’s a twist on the old storytelling trope Deus ex Machina—where a god descends to resolve the plot. But this is not about divine rescue. It’s about what emerges from the systems we build, if we build them with heart.
Why This Exists
This is a personal project—a place to collect ideas, trace patterns, and build things that might not fit anywhere else (yet). It’s a response to a cultural moment where many feel disillusioned with technology, institutions, and the pace of change.
But instead of rejecting the future, Eu ex Machina explores how to reclaim it. Not with cynicism, but with courage.
Not with control, but with creativity.
Who This Is For
- Builders who want to align code with values
- Storytellers imagining better worlds
- Educators, artists, and technologists who care about the soul of their work
- Anyone who believes optimism is a design challenge worth taking seriously
This is not a place for polished answers.
It’s a space for hopeful prototypes.
For trying things, making meaning, and asking:
What is the BEST outcome and how do we build it?
