About

As an undergrad at New York University, I doubled majored in Journalism and Religious Studies. To simplify things, and much to my parents horror, I would tell people I was majoring in Propaganda. Because in my mind, my two seemingly opposing majors were really about the same thing - the power of stories to move people, and shape the world we live in.

A good story can change the course of history.

Making the Elephant is about creating the tomorrow we want to see by telling better stories about it. About leaning into the possibility of human progress, and crafting it into being deliberately. We mustn’t leave the story of our future to be told by technologists and angel investors and LLM’s alone. Our narrative needs input from human creativity. And beauty. And art. And poetry. And love. And imagination.

My work is about telling better stories about our better future with as many smart people as possible. I know you’re out there.

Would you expect any less from a Propaganda major?

LFG.
