Sev Geraskin explores how automation and AI have created a global identity crisis, where many feel materially secure but emotionally unfulfilled. Drawing from psychology, philosophy, and lived experience, he examines how true well-being depends on balancing three kinds of human needs: material, intellectual, and emotional.

Through research, real stories from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, and lived experience, Sev shows that fulfillment depends on balancing these needs. He and his partner, April, share how they turned these principles into community practice, demonstrating that AI will not save humanity but will scale whatever we choose to be.
