Welcome to Mythogen

We were told that modern technology would give us better lives, more clarity, more drive, more freedom, more joy.

Instead, it gave us apps that teach us to scroll before we even stand. It made waking up and flittering through micro-entertainment masquerade as living. It gave us love, sex, and relationship as a swipeable shopping cart. Health as a dashboard. Meaning as an algorithm. Attention as currency to arbitrage.

We moved from wonder to nihilism. From dreaming what AI could build, to fearing what it might erase: our work, our meaning, even our will to choose.

I know, because I helped build the old system. And I watched it fail us. I saw the crushing power of the status quo.

This was never the dream.

We don’t dismiss what tech has given us. But we know it can do more than distract and extract.

Mythogen is our attempt to begin again.

We ask:

• What if the apps you use didn’t hijack your mind, but helped you return to it?

• What if the systems we use helped us build a life we aspire to wake up and live, not hold us accountable to ones that we barely find tolerable?

• What if your money told the story of your generosity to yourself and to others and helped you understand the things that brought you alive?

• What if our goals didn’t need to be hacked, tricked, or gamified - because they actually mattered to us?

• What if boredom wasn’t something we outsourced to a screen to fill with entertainment, but a moment to be listened to like a signal?

• What if your productivity wasn’t just a grid of tasks to endlessly reschedule until the final-final deadline, but were systems that helped you structure a life you actually wanted to live?

• What if technology was designed to be used less, as a means to an end, rather than as an end in of itself?

It’s not a simple product. You are not just a consumer.

It’s a perspective. One where technology serves the soul, not just the market.

And where systems are designed around your narrative instead of optimizing your productivity.

Mythogen isn’t optimized for engagement. It’s not gamified. It’s not built with the same coercive tricks we’re trying to escape.

It’s slow. It’s human. It’s sacred.

And we’re building it, for those of us ready to live a little mythically again:

• To author identity.

• To cultivate meaning.

• To live with intention.

Join us, as we build this slowly. Not for mass adoption.

But for those who are ready to begin again.
