August James

Founder & Effective Altruist

I'm a systems thinker, a musician, a writer, and an altruist. I'm a musician on a mission to bring like-minded communities together in meaningful and momentous ways. My mission as a musician is to empower introspection and personal reflection, and to increase global empathy and global awareness. To empower individuals and communities to step outside their system, outside their world, to put themselves in the shoes of someone less fortunate. Look up what the word Sonder means.

My long-term goal and my life long goal is to become an Emergent Strategist, specifically Adrienne Maree Brown's exemplification. To solve problems by zooming out and working it out. By looking at whole systems and the whole picture. By working towards a strong greater purpose and by forging shared visions, we can achieve much more than what we had previously thought possible.

My mission is to help guide and empower more effective altruists in this world. To empower more people to care. To empower people to take action. To inspire and help guide new generations of musicians, and new generations of Emergent Strategists to address these pressing problems.

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein

It's time to adopt a new perspective. And this perspective must be built together. ~August
