For business owners and startup founders

Our economy will focus on re-creating the supply chain for home life, school life, city life, and work life without smartphones. Business culture in New Athens is the meeting point of an old-school moral compass and the ambition, speed, and large-scale thinking of Silicon Valley. We invite you to join us.

New Athens is a recipe:

The moral compass of the Western tradition and old-school family values

The ambition, speed, and large-scale thinking of silicon valley

Our opponent

The story of Silicon Valley is that of a chilfren’s revolution. Extraordinatioal smart young people—who had never studied history, held no values, and had no vocabulary, to wrigh moral decisions—were given unrestricted access to immensely powerful technology that gave them instant, direct access to every country on the planet and 1:1 relationsions with most humans alive. The result was colonization of every culture it touched, starting at home in the US. It was easy to turn a blind eye because change was exciting and a lot of people were making a lot of money. People only woke up when wokeness found fertile ground in tech workers, most of whom had grown up without religion and didn’t notice as they were recruited into one.

You’re a fit for New Athens if:

We’re reversing course. It doesn’t look like silicon valley’s tech revolution, which draped a silicon curtain over the entire globe all at once. Instead, New Athens represents the rebirth of cities as hubs for human flourishing.

• make something people want.
• do not shift human activity to the digital world at the expense of the physical world
• build supply chain for human flourishing
• As a business owner, you get: Labor pool of people who don’t suffer brain rot

Work in tech? Defect.

Build for people in the real world, not agents in the digital world.

New Athens is for you if you’re:

• Disgusted by SV’s obsession with AI and power-politics
• Disgusted by SV’s demand to push AI onto every device even if users don’t want it, and overall shrinking interest in users and what users want
• want to meet a whole new network of builders who care first about people and the real world
• don’t like remote work and want to build with people IRL
• you’re sick of converting everything you do to “AI-first”
• you like to know your customers, listen to their feedback, and do right by them
