J.C.R. Licklider wrote his seminal 1960 paper on human-computer symbiosis describing how humans could work with computers. He saw computers not just mitigating monotony but enhancing creativity and enabling mental models. Computers excel at digesting complexity humans struggle with, while humans excel at judgment and creativity computers lack. The goal is symbiosis, not replacement.

Technology as extension of human cognition operates within physical and energetic constraints. Tech moves so fast that it changes the world—tech moving forward is a law of life. Investing heavily in tech creates opportunities across industries. Currently computing, biology, energy, and manufacturing are undergoing exponential change, creating massive leverage points.
