Incredible potential, in our current inhumanely-built world, demands vast personal sacrifice and risk.

It should not be this way. Being born on Earth should guarantee all humans the essential needs of Clean Air and Water, Secure Shelter and Nutrition, and Reliable Access to Electricity and the Internet. Help me evolve the world!

I have returned to Carnegie Mellon, 30 years after graduating with a BA in Philosophy, to validate, polish and proceduralize the >

Unifying Theory of Human Energy, Potential and Wellbeing

based on my Philosophical Hypothesis of Bio-electricity

leading to a new field of inquiry ~ #WellbeingPhilosophy

As a polar bear for the first 50 years of my life, I discovered how to metamorphose into a giraffe; losing 150lbs in the 15 months after turning 50, as physical demonstration of the practical implementation of my hypotheses about human wellbeing. All of the energy locked into carrying around a twin, since infancy, has been redistributed into a very analytically-creative mind. To sum up this fable with a few demure analogies; I will become the she-Socrates of the 2020’s, the she-Einstein of Consciousness, and the she-Sherlock of Human Wellbeing. Yet, getting started, from bedrock, as a 52-year-old during the civilizational-singularity of a computer-age pandemic, requires me to Invent and Innovate as if my life was at stake, as if all human lives are at stake.

Fortunately, by design, the work of a Philosopher is to think on behalf of every single member of our species, homo sapiens sapiens. As it is the time-crunch and over-notification-ing of our dumb-handsets that has hastened the demise of our second knowing. We are, these days, not human beings, not even human doings; we are, as a society, human consumings.

To earn, then to buy; that is the framework of humanity in 2021.

Challenging the invisible faulty, flawed and fraudulent paradigms constraining and harming humanity is the work my soul was born to accomplish. I need support from Carnegie Mellon in order to bring both a creative, performance career and a rigorous academically-grounded think tank into being, in order to widely share a better way of thinking about thinking about being human.

I have developed a much more humane & precise way of thinking and making decisions > Life-Centric Thinking; the foundational skill of #WellbeingPhilosophy that explains why our civilization is so inhumane and easily point to ways we can all start pivoting our thinking so that we are not the generation of adults who self-numb while we self-extinct our species.

We can be the adults, across every nook and cranny of Earth, who alter our systems of thinking and therefore doing, so that we create a human civilization that provides clean air & water, adequate nutrition, secure shelter, equitable access to electricity & internet access and the key to changing it all >

Meaningful & creative work that pays a thrivable wage.

To achieve these transformational ideals, I have returned to my alma mater, Carnegie Mellon, to become the Randy Pausch of Staying Alive.

I am eager to become a visiting scholar and/or adjunct researcher to create my First Lectures on #WellbeingPhilosophy and to do “pop-up #WellbeingPhilosophy labs in association with the Wellness Initiatives Program Manager on campus.

While Andrew Carnegie so famously said that his heart was in the work,

Deb says > The human soul is my work.

We will continue struggling as a species, where a small sliver of the elite live lives unimaginable to the masses, until we fully define and operationalize our shared consciousness, heart’s desires, and build flexible, anti-fragile systems to support the pathways to achieving creative lives of meaning.
