Whether you’re seeking a like-minded community or just looking to dedicate a few minutes each week, you can make a difference!
Torchbearer Community works to build the methods that can reliably lead humanity to tackle its greatest challenges.
Our members have expertise in AI research, activism, law, policy, education, software development, marketing, philosophy, bio-tech, maths, cybersecurity, sustainability, and more.
We’re carrying forward the torch that others, from Plato and Cleisthenes to the Enlightenment humanists and the Founding Fathers, have carried before us. Our aim is to leverage all the advantages modern knowledge and technology offer for the continuation of the Human Project.
This is not another meaningless community that devolves into people sharing mindless memes. Our goal is to develop a large group of people focused on concrete and productive solutions to the biggest problems. Everything else is secondary.
Together, we'll help light the way toward a future worth living in.
