In a world moving faster than our ability to make sense of it, we need places where ethics, wisdom, and deep human insight are not just preserved, but made actionable." — Wesley J. Wildman, Founder
At a time when accelerating change is outpacing the values and systems meant to guide it, we work at the intersection of ethics, technology, and human development to support those building a more just and hopeful future. Our work supports systemic impact through interdisciplinary research, complexity modeling, applied ethical tools, values-driven publishing, and community-based programs that bridge compassionate wisdom with ethical foresight.
We used simulations to explore how religious beliefs and social conditions fuel extremist violence. By mapping pathways to radicalization, the project offered policymakers and educators practical tools to prevent violence and strengthen community resilience.
To address racial disparities in maternal health, we created simulation models that reveal how institutional failures and social determinants combine to put Black mothers at risk. Partnering with public health leaders, the project helped policy professionals test interventions and design strategies that save lives and advance equity.
Our Digital Ethics Curriculum helps industry professionals and researchers make responsible choices in data analytics, modeling, and algorithmic decision-making. Using real-world scenarios, the program guides teams to recognize when ethical concerns arise, evaluate options thoughtfully, and build with integrity, compassion, and strategic foresight.
The Center for Mind and Culture (CMAC) combines behavioral science, simulation modeling, and systems thinking to help leaders see how complex challenges unfold—and design responses that align with human values. From health equity to conflict prevention, our research turns insight into impact.
