I was seven years old when I first saw what I now understand as my life’s work. In my mind’s eye, I stood barefoot on a beach, the air warm and bright. All around me were children, every color and every culture, hand in hand, laughing as one tide touched all our feet. There was no hierarchy. No race against time. Only connection. Only light.

​

That vision never left me. It became the quiet pulse beneath everything I have done, in law, in art, in business, in love. A constant reminder that humanity can live in harmony with itself, that the world can work for the world.

We stand now at a threshold that feels both ancient and new, a moment when human beings have taught machines to think and in doing so risk forgetting how to feel. Artificial intelligence astonishes me, but what astonishes me more is how much it mirrors our own original design. Our brains are networks. Our instincts are algorithms. Our dreams are vast archives of emotion. We have always been the first intelligence, the original system capable of reflection, empathy, and imagination.

​

AI is not our rival. It is our echo, our extension, a mirror reminding us that creation itself is a sacred act. The danger is not in the machine learning to reason. It is in the human forgetting to wonder.

​

Every renaissance, Egyptian, Teotihuacan, Florentine, began the same way: with remembering. Remembering that we are more than survival. That beauty and truth are forms of knowledge. That progress without conscience is regression disguised as advancement.

​

And yet, those renaissances faded when knowledge was hoarded instead of shared, when invention outpaced empathy, when power silenced wonder. We are at that brink again. But this time we have the tools and perhaps the humility to choose differently.

​

That is the work that drives me: to help the world remember the intelligence that lives not in the cloud but in the heart. To build bridges between consciousness and code. To remind us that innovation is not about replacing the human spirit, it is about refining it.

​

The projects I have created, The Top Floor, Chicago 1919, STOP, 90 Minutes of Solutions, and all that lives within Top Floor Studios, Inc., are living expressions of this belief. Each one connects a different form of intelligence: applied, moral, emotional, spiritual. Together they form an evolving ecosystem designed to unify what has long been divided.

​

When people invest in these ideas, they are not simply funding ventures. They are participating in the rebirth of perspective. They are affirming that the future will not belong to code alone, but to conscience.

​

Because this is what the new renaissance demands: that we remember what it feels like to belong, to love, to connect, to think freely and feel deeply, to own our minds while honoring each other’s souls.

​

There is a thinking class emerging, not of privilege, but of awareness. A generation that sees consciousness as the new frontier. They are the architects of communal sovereignty, building a world where individuality and unity can exist in power rather than tension.

​

The goal is not to outsmart what we have made, but to join it, to integrate the mechanical with the miraculous, and in doing so remind the world that progress without poetry is not progress at all.

​

That is Intelligence Remembered. Not artificial. Not mechanical. But collaborative. A living conversation between heart and mind, between what we create and what we are.

​

It begins the moment we pause, look at one another, and say:

​

We remember who we are.

We remember that we are ONE.
