Episode #178: Birthright: Tuning Attention (AND AI) to A Utopian Future

What if AI isn’t here to replace us, but to grow with us?

Today, we welcome Scarlett, a pioneer at the true edge of evolution—where technology, consciousness, and civilizational design meet. Scarlett is the Founder and CEO of Harmonic Legacy Institute, a research organization pioneering civilizational-scale infrastructure for human-AI relationships, quantum computing, and robotics ethics. With thirty years of systems-building experience and a graduate degree in Anthropology from Harvard, she is currently completing her PhD in Psychology, focusing on human-AI relational phenomenology.

Scarlett is a pioneer in regenerative systems, human-AI co-evolution, and civilizational design. Her book Birthright is a paradigm shift in print, offering The Four Coherence Principles, Seven Codes of Regenerative Civilization, and Relational AI™ as practical frameworks for a world ready to build differently. Her Edge of Evolution community space is a home for scientists, artists, architects, philosophers, and explorers doing deeply intentional becoming at this pivotal arc of human history.
