The Civilization Research Institute works to support the emergence of a mature global civilization capable of wisely stewarding the unprecedented power of exponential technologies, in concert with an enduringly healthy biosphere, while avoiding the twin failure modes of catastrophes and dystopias. The essence of the Civilization Research Institute’s work is the development of a set of criteria for a global civilization wise enough to steward the power that our narrow intelligence has created. Our work aims to bring such a future into being.
