Love is not what you feel about the binding. Love is the binding.
From Love as a Structural Force
The talk
What if love, broadly defined as the tendency of things to bind together, cooperate, and integrate into greater wholes, is not a sentimental abstraction but a structural feature of reality itself.
This talk takes that question seriously. We start with the physics. We move to biology. We end at the design of organizations, relationships, and the room you are sitting in. The thesis is simple. If love is the tendency of things to bind into greater wholes, then every choice to build is a choice to participate in that tendency. Every choice not to is a choice against it.
I built a portfolio of companies on this thesis without ever naming it. I am naming it now. This talk is for the conscious-business gatherings, the retreats, and the philosophical circles where the audience is ready to think out loud about what we are actually doing when we are doing this.

Is this the right talk for your room?
For rooms ready to think out loud. Audiences that respond to Marc Andreessen-meets-Brian Eno conversation. Not the talk to book for an HR off-site.
