Analog Collective is a community of people who want to reclaim their attention, agency, and humanity.

Too often, technology makes us less human.

Attributes of "humanness" include consciousness, morality, free will, emotions, rationality, creativity, sociality, growth, and empathy.

Technology can exploit "sympathies and frailties of human nature" and portray them in formats that no longer feel human.

Most systems are designed to be extractive. They numb, addict, and manipulate, always seeking more of our time and money.

They want us to believe we have less agency than we do.

They want us to become more controllable.

And, as a result, less human.

We believe…

Endless fragmentation of attention erodes meaning.

Friction is requisite for a meaningful life.

Human relationships are sacred.

Free-thinking minds must be preserved.

We exist to…

Cultivate more human moments.

Restore deep thinking and original ideas.

Use technology to build a world we want to live in.
