Christofuturism Philosophy and Vision

Core Philosophy

Christofuturism Definition: Gary's alternative to dystopian technological futures - "The future I want basically looks like our dream, or like I think people's utopia in the 1950s, except with flying cars. I don't want my utopia to be like we all have a million smart devices that are clearly present and just we look like we're in the future. No, I think it's just everyone's kind of relaxed and really connected to nature and humans and God."

Key Principles:

  • Technology that enhances rather than replaces human connection
  • "Truth, beauty, goodness" as guiding triad
  • Community technology and movement technology as priorities
  • God → Human → AI hierarchy (never reversed)
  • Collaborative rather than ego-driven leadership
  • Love and faith as superior fuel over fear and competition

Cultural Strategy

"Prompt Engineering Culture": Gary's approach to systematic cultural influence - "We are prompt engineering culture... We need to have conviction that the culture needs to be prompted. That it needs to be prompt engineered. And that we just got to do it in the best possible way."

God Wave Movement: Cultural movement focused on "inspiring people to put God first" through high-quality content creation, premium experiences, and setting cultural standards rather than competing in existing frameworks.

Unique Strategic Position

Multi-Continental Network Access

Gary's Self-Assessment: "I'm maybe the only person on Earth... That is tapped into DC, Africa, Rome, and China at the same time... And I'm literally alive because of the U.S.-China dichotomy."

Network Spanning:

  • DC: Government and policy connections, White House faith office access
  • Africa: Connections to Liberian president and development opportunities
  • Rome: Catholic Church AI advisory role
  • China: Alpha Schools connections through Ari Crane to Chinese First Lady

US-China Collaboration Vision

Moon City Project: Gary is working with NASA and XPRIZE to identify "180 blockers to a city on the moon" as basis for US-China collaboration that could redirect competitive energies toward joint achievement.

China Connection Through Alpha Schools: "Do you know how I'm connected with China? Through Alpha Schools... it's through Ari Crane, the guy that I introduced you to... he literally has the ear of the First Lady of China, on Alpha Schools, on two-hour learning."

Vision for Trump Legacy: Gary believes he can help make Trump's presidency "the most successful presidency of all time" through ambitious US-China collaboration projects, potentially earning Trump a Nobel Peace Prize.

Working Standards and Collaboration Philosophy

Christ-Centered Requirement

Gary's Standard: "I don't want to work with anyone that's not Christ-centered anymore. And if they are not explicitly, they better have outstanding proof. That the fruits of their work and the way that they act is essentially Christ-centered."

Operational Principles:

  • "Everything moves and flows at the speed of trust"
  • Explicit faith orientation or demonstrable alignment through actions
  • Character assessment through fruit rather than just statements
  • Long-term relationship building rather than transactional engagement

Technology and Human Connection Philosophy

AI for Better Connections: "One of my friends who I'm having breakfast with on Monday has the leading AI for connecting people based on their shared goals and interests... people want to meet with people that they should be meeting... And so that's not we have more apps. It's literally we are just hanging out with people that we've been hanging out with."

Community Technology Focus: Prioritizes technology that facilitates genuine human connections and enables faster achievement of meaningful goals rather than increasing device dependency.

Notes

Gary appears to be a highly connected individual who excels at bringing people together around emerging technologies and opportunities. He has a knack for identifying talent and facilitating meaningful connections, as demonstrated by the dinner gathering bringing together Joe Liemandt with Gauntlet AI participants.

His approach combines enthusiasm (the "cheerleader" role) with strategic curation of relationships and opportunities. He seems particularly interested in leveraging technology for social impact, especially in education, and is exploring collaborations between tech innovators and policy domains.

Gary's experience at Google, where he felt constrained by the culture's aversion to exceptional effort, appears to have shaped his approach to work and community building. He values high-agency individuals and environments that encourage ambition and innovation.

His recent re-engagement with coding through AI tools like Cursor has reinvigorated his technical interests, and he's now applying those skills while also leveraging his network-building abilities to create new opportunities and ventures.

His faith journey, beginning in 2021, has become central to his work, leading to the GODWAVE Collective and vision for Christ-centered education and cities. He emphasizes the proper hierarchy: "God → Human → AI. Never get it twisted."

Gary's unique position spanning multiple continents and cultures, combined with his family's history of persecution and asylum, gives him distinctive credibility for bridge-building initiatives, particularly between the US and China. His vision for redirecting US-China competition toward collaboration through ambitious joint projects represents a potentially transformative approach to international relations.

Notes (Updated June 7, 2025)

The June 7, 2025 strategic convergence meeting represents Gary's most successful network orchestration to date. His ability to facilitate the convergence of Dr. Alexander's technological capabilities, Bishop Benjamin's government access, and Elder Bratton's educational expertise demonstrates his unique gift for recognizing and connecting transformational leaders at pivotal moments.

His witness to Dr. Alexander's complete revelation about founding Qigong and building China's technological infrastructure fundamentally changes the strategic landscape. Gary's immediate recognition of the implications and his articulation of the "do it again" vision positions him as the key strategic connector for implementing transformational change in American education and community development.

The spiritual dimension of this convergence, recognized by all participants as divine appointment, validates Gary's approach of building relationships and networks based on kingdom principles rather than purely transactional considerations.

Key Themes from June 7: Divine network orchestration, strategic scale recognition, government access pathway establishment, spiritual-technological integration, educational transformation vision, and calling confirmation as force multiplier for kingdom advancement.
