My work blends creative writing, AgeTech insights, Sustainability, and knowledge management.
- People Care – Aging well and
lifelong learning, with or without technology.
- Earth Care – Individual
responsibility in sustainability and regenerative practices.
- Knowledge Care – Preserving and
applying knowledge throughout life, using AI and personal knowledge
management.
How does this Practical Philosophy hold together?
As we grow older, we don’t just accumulate years—we gather
experiences, knowledge, and responsibilities. But aging well isn’t just about
staying healthy; it’s about staying engaged—with ourselves, with our
environment, and with the knowledge we carry forward. Over time, we start to
see the bigger picture—how our choices ripple outward, how knowledge
builds over time, and how everything is more interconnected than we once
realized. That’s where my practical philosophy comes in.
I call it People Care, Earth Care, and Knowledge Care—a
way of thinking borrowed and adapted from the three core ethics of
permaculture. In permaculture these three
core ethics guide the design of sustainable ecosystems, but I’ve found they
also make a great framework for navigating life. It’s a way of thinking that shapes both my
writing and my work in AgeTech. For me, People Care is about aging with
purpose, whether with technology that supports lifelong learning or simply
embracing new ways to stay mentally and physically sharp. Earth Care is
a reminder that we are part of a larger ecosystem—that the choices we make
today impact future generations, whether through sustainable living or
rethinking how communities thrive. And Knowledge Care is about how we preserve,
refine, and share what we’ve learned—because what good is experience if it
isn’t passed on, adapted, and used to build something better? What good is all this knowledge locked away
in our heads, scattered across half-finished notebooks and long-forgotten
digital folders?
These ideas guide the stories I write and the work I do.
Whether I am exploring the role of AI in longevity, imagining futures where
sustainability is woven into everyday life, or advocating for tools that help
people manage their own knowledge, these three pillars stay at the core. Aging,
technology, and storytelling—interconnected through the responsibility we hold
for ourselves, our planet, and the wisdom we leave behind.
