Classical wisdom wasn't written for isolated analysis; it was written to be lived in community. Good books remain the ultimate foundation for real friendship.

How can we use technology to share the best of humanity?

That question led Jeremy Sheeler (AGI18) to cofound The Koinos Project, an online publication that highlights exceptional artists, ideas, and historical figures. Koinos recently collaborated with the Johnnie-founded band Summerfield, including Helen Wagner (A26) and Wylie Robbins Thorne-Thomsen (A26), to create an original music video entitled “The Canyon” and a podcast discussion about Wagner’s creative process.
Here is what Sheeler says about his initiative to feature Summerfield and other artists:

"As part of our attempt here at The Koinos to restore humanity to the humanities, we are launching a new series featuring artists who we feel represent the best of what humanity has to offer. The project will include music videos accompanied by a podcast discussion about the artists’ creative process, their inspiration, and the books and other works of art that have helped them to become who they are and do what they do.

"As the challenge of AI art continues to spread like the plague, we believe it is becoming imperative to not only appreciate the truly human aspect of art, but to be able to give an account of it — what the ancient Greeks called logos. Understanding why we do what we do will be as important as continuing to do it."

We discuss the influence of the @sjcannapolis #greatbooks program on Helen's writing and thinking, as well as her valiant attempt to live the "articulated life."
