The Great Fragmentation
Why America Feels Broken, Why Both Parties Are Failing and How to Come Back Together
A record 45% of Americans identified as political independents in 2025. This book gives voice to the millions feeling abandoned by both parties — identifying two competing worldviews driving the divide, and charting an honest, empathetic path forward that integrates the strengths of both.

PHILOSOPHY
Why AGI Matters
The Neural Singularity
The boundary between biological and artificial cognition is dissolving — not through brute-force imitation, but through discovering the universal laws of intelligence itself.
Three pillars guide Ekemini Thompson's work:
- Neural Primitives: The fundamental operations of cognition must be discovered, not designed — requiring tight integration with neuroscience.
- Scalable Alignment: As systems become more capable than their creators, mathematical frameworks for goal preservation become essential.
- Physics-Based Learning: The next breakthrough will come from deeper integration with physical laws, not just statistical patterns.
