Join host Jim Garrison and Dr. Anneloes Smitsman for a thought-provoking and hope-activating conversation on how to change the "Moloch game", both in real life and in a computer game – Elowyn: Quest of Time. Anneloes shares her fascinating, yet challenging journey from systems scientist and educator to leading the ambitious EARTHwise Games and creating this AI-based “Play2Thrive” game designed for maximum positive impact, empowering younger generations as game-changers for a thrivable world and future.
As power struggles unravel at global scales, leaving many in shock, understanding how the Moloch game operates — and how we can change it — may be one of the most critical insights of our time. Elowyn is now free to play on the EARTHwise website, offering you the opportunity to train as a Guardian of a New Time while simultaneously helping to develop benevolent AI systems that can guide us through the depths of the poly-crisis.
