Mind over Machine

Balanced software systems — that doesn't run wild

Mind over Machine Regenerative software in practice

We are a non-profit foundation combining a think tank, a laboratory, and a community of practice. Our mission is to explore and share regenerative approaches to software development that create a net positive long-term value for people and humanity.

MoM is organizing a series of three free events on EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and its implications for software manufacturers, it's impact on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and a simple path to oversee the challenges of CRA compliance through a simple FOSS tool developed by the MoM community.

What we do

Three pillars of our work

Think tank: Thought leadership

We devlop, analyse, reserch and publish open end free materials about regenerative software development, system thinking, ethics, and long-term healthy development practices.

Community of Practice: Legitimate peripheral participation

We run events and conversations where practitioners test ideas, share learnings, and shape better software culture.

Laboratory: Experiments and membership engagement

We test assumptions and hypotheses about regenerative principles in collaborative circles with members and academia.

Our Web

Our Web

Every technology has a culture. Over 30 years, the Web has drifted from a shared productivity platform designed by Tim Berners-Lee, towards a machine of "social media", ad campaigns and global consumption. The cognitive offloading effect of AI is now 'critically endangering' it before it had a chance to evolve. We are here to preserve it.
