About Nick Sasaki

Hi, I'm Nick Sasaki, and I moderate conversations at Imaginary Talks, where we bring together some of the brightest minds from various fields to discuss pressing global issues.

In early 2024, I found myself deeply concerned about the state of our world. Despite technological advancements, we seemed to be regressing in key areas: political polarization was intensifying, misinformation was rampant, and societal cohesion was fraying.

Determined to address these issues head-on, I initiated a series of in-depth imaginary conversations with thought leaders and visionaries. This journey has led to an ongoing collection of dialogues, each offering unique insights and practical solutions to our most urgent challenges. Every day, I post new conversations, featuring innovative ideas and thought-provoking discussions that aim to reshape our understanding of global issues and inspire collective action.

Welcome to Imaginary Talks, where ideas come to life and solutions are within reach. Join me daily as we explore the thoughts and wisdom of some of the greatest minds to address the pressing issues of our time.

Artificial intelligence is not artificial. The device may be artificial, but the intelligence it embodies is real. In fact, not only is it real, but you will discover that you have created a device that allows you to communicate with your own higher mind - Bashar
