As AI races ahead faster than our institutions can keep up, one question matters more than ever: what kind of future are we building?
At ARC 2026 we were privileged to be joined by Chloe Lubinski of Anthropic, who explored why AI may be more human-like than we realise, why the “character” of these systems matters, and why our moral imagination could shape the future of intelligence itself.

Buy your 1st edition copy of our new book, The Age of Reconstruction:
With the return of the ARC Conference this June, we are publishing a brand new book — the most comprehensive synthesis of ARC’s philosophy to date. Drawing on Augustine, Tolkien, and a long tradition of civilisational thinking, The Age of Reconstruction charts a path from diagnosis to renewal. While many can point out where things have gone wrong, this book does what most can’t: it lays out a vision of what we must build, how, and why it is still possible.
Praise for The Age of Reconstruction:
“Will Western Civilisation flourish, or flounder? It depends on us, and the decisions we make right now. And Johnny Patterson’s wonderful ‘The Age of Reconstruction’ gives us the formula, based on timeless ideas and wisdom.” — Arthur Brooks, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
