About

I am a husband and father, an impact entrepreneur, a community builder, and a researcher, consultant, and speaker on AIs that influence us. This includes emotionally intelligent AIs, algorithmic incentives, social media algorithms, mind control AIs, and more. I believe in the power of community and want to help ethical professionals and entrepreneurs to positively change our societies and environment by engaging their communities in their cause. Equel is a community platform that enables you to build a thriving community and turn any conversation into a highly visible public debate on other social media walls. No bots, no spam, no hate speech, no gaming algorithms. Just talk to your community members - we take care of the rest.

Do you see a need for a community platform for professional networking?

LinkedIn is currently the #1 public wall for professionals, but their groups are practically dead. Facebook Groups used to be the best place for professional groups, but it has gone down significantly since 2017. Discord, Telegram and Reddit are pseudonymous platforms, so building professional connections is hard. Slack is probably popular among the ProductHunt crowd, but I have never activated for longer term on any community beyond our own internal Slack, and I have tried many. If there was a focused community platform for professional groups, would you join one?
