About
betterment
noun
making or becoming better;
ideology
noun
rituals of thought, feeling, and action;
the science of ideas;
btrmt. is about the ideologies you choose. The primary
role of the brain is to map the predictable structure of the world to
predictable patterns of thinking and behaving. These rituals of thought,
feeling, and action are protective—graceful solutions to an impossibly complex
world. Yet, they leave us only half awake; following patterns laid for us, not
by us. btrmt. collects my attempts to explore them, so we can choose instead.

Analects
analects
Analects are a collection of ideas, extracts, or teachings. These are my analects. With a background in brain science and the sciences of mind, I explore how ideas become ideologies become action, for better or worse. Here, you'll find links to all the content I produce for any of the btrmt projects.The Armchair Collective

The Armchair Collective is the membership community of btrmt. You see, humans, of all the animals, have the greatest capacity for nurture. Our capacity to thrive is due to our ability to adapt, and our ability to adapt is merely a reflection of our ability to come together and share ideas. The Armchair Collective is a place to do just that.
