Conscious Technology

Orphalys

In Gibran's masterpiece, a prophet departs the city of Orphalese, leaving wisdom in his wake. What transformation follows when the teacher departs? What do the listeners become?

This is the practice ground—building intelligence systems at the intersection of technical excellence and philosophical depth. For awakening technologists.
