Formats

From the lecture hall to the public stage.

I speak to specialist audiences and broad public audiences alike. The guiding thread is always the same: taking the philosophical consequences of technology seriously, and returning the decisive question of ends to people.

Conversations that bring together rigour, concrete examples and genuine participation.

Themes

Questions that cannot be delegated to a machine.

Does AI make us more intelligent?

What machines can do, what they cannot do, and why human value shifts toward choosing ends.

Is consciousness in the brain?

Mind-Object Identity as a radical alternative to dualism and neurocentric reductionism.

Freedom: choice or decision?

The difference between calculating options and assuming a direction, a value, a responsibility.

Creativity beyond computation

Why generating new forms is not enough: human creativity creates new meanings through contact with reality.
