Creative Altruism
Creativity, care, and cooperation working together for the greater good.
Creative Altruism is a developing field of thought and practice exploring how human creativity can be aligned with responsibility, reciprocity, and shared benefit.
It asks a simple but urgent question:
How might our work contribute not only to individual success, but to collective coherence?
This site serves as a stewarded reference space for the field.
The Core Orientation
Creative Altruism does not begin with charity.
It begins with orientation.
It proposes that creativity — whether expressed in art, business, technology, education, or governance — carries moral weight. The question is not whether we create, but how and toward what end.
Creative Altruism invites a shift:
From extraction to contribution.
From competition to cooperation.
From short-term gain to long-term coherence.
Why It Matters Now
We are living in a period of accelerated change.
Technological systems evolve faster than cultural wisdom.
Economic incentives often reward fragmentation.
Institutions struggle to maintain trust.
Creative Altruism is an attempt to articulate a stabilising principle for this transition:
that creativity guided by care can generate durable forms of cooperation.
A Field in Development
This site serves as a neutral reference point for the emerging field of Creative Altruism.
It is not a movement.
It is not an ideology.
It is not a political position.
It is an inquiry into how creative intelligence can serve shared flourishing and systemic responsibility.
