At Techistential and Disruptive Futures Institute we look at the intersection where humans meet physicalist science. This is perhaps most expressly manifest in the development of mathematical decision models (algorithms) that have been quickly afforded a great deal of unquestioned trust and power. Our aim is to present views on the nature of physicalist scientific speculation in such a way as to equip audiences with the ability to better appraise both capabilities and limitations of scientific solutions and the technological applications derived from them. It is here that the questions our scientific curiosity confronts us with meet the limits of their reach as we realize we are able to think past their premises. At this intersection, we stand on the border of what we think we know, what we know we do not know, and what we do not know we do not know. We face both science and the existentialist condition. This is Techistentialism. Techistential combines unique perspectives concerning the future of humans and machines.
