About

Björn Öste

I built KarmaDrip to supply drinking water in parched lands and founded the Arkhub Institute to upgrade archaeology's digital toolset for discoveries.

I've been a student of the Network State since 2024. Left highschool early to pursue education in my own hands, like my expeditions.

My Compass

I got out of the school system early. I sought my own ontological truths, not the force-fed ones. These are my strongest convictions:

Instincts
Our bodies are vessels. They can be tuned to realms beyond the materialistic world, improving our instincts and decisions in our career and personal life.
Symmetry "Beauty"
God gave us hands to create. Our purpose is to build Eden. Use nature's designs. Honor the patterns. Extend them...
Scale
Human nature tells us to fight for space, but the great challenge is to create more space. Our default should be to think bigger.
Slow Thinking
Slow thinking is more effective in fast-paced society. Add friction to create pauses in your life.
