The Future of Wisdom: Living a Good Life in the Age of AI
To celebrate the launch of Alter, a practical philosophy platform, we invite you to join us on February 26th, at an exclusive invite-only event “The Future of Wisdom” with a special guest John Vervaeke.
For centuries, philosophy was not just an academic discipline but a way of life. It was a practice of living wisely, pursuing meaning, and cultivating virtue.
What we now separate into psychology, mindfulness, and therapy, were once part of a single, unified existential project: the collective love for wisdom and the art of living a good life.
At Alter, we believe this ancient pursuit of wisdom is more relevant now than ever.

In a world where AI may soon outperform us in intelligence, it is not intelligence that will define us, but wisdom. Therefore, we are on a mission to guide humanity through the wisdom cultivation journey.
The keynote speaker of the evening is John Vervaeke, Ph.D. an award-winning professor of psychology, cognitive science, and Buddhist psychology at the University of Toronto.
In his work, John covers the following topics:
- What does it mean to be human when intelligence is no longer our defining trait?
- How do we construct meaning in a world where AI outperforms us?
- Can philosophy offer us the foundation for a new way of living?
Join us for an intimate gathering of thinkers, creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators as we explore the most urgent philosophical challenge of our time.
