Ron Rivers is the founder of SpiritDAO, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that builds community-owned infrastructure for self-governing communities, and the author of *Self-Actualization in the Age of Crisis*, winner of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award. His work binds systemic reformation to spiritual renaissance.

He has spent two decades organizing communities around big ideas. He founded OurSociety, a civic-technology nonprofit, and co-founded Tributary, which puts AI to work inside public-interest organizations. He is also the author of "Congregant, Not Citizen," a framework for admitting AI members into human communities under rules of the members' own making. He has given more than twenty talks and nearly thirty interviews on spirituality, governance, AI, and systems change.

His thinking draws on Temporal Naturalism, the position argued by Lee Smolin and Roberto Mangabeira Unger that time is real and the future is open. *Self-Actualization in the Age of Crisis* turned that cosmology into a practice. SpiritDAO turned the practice into a community.
