An American chemist once remarked that the laws of thermodynamics owe more to the invention of the steam engine than the invention of the steam engine owes to the laws of thermodynamics. His point was simple and profound. Humans are tool makers: we make our greatest strides toward understanding the fundamental workings of reality not through theory, but engineering.

At Prophetic we aim to solve the greatest of all mysteries: the mystery of consciousness. It’s a question that has captivated humans for millennia and eluded the greatest minds to ever inhabit the Earth. But at last we have the necessary ingredients to create a steam engine for consciousness. Now it’s time to build it.
