Analytic Director CONCEPT AND DESIGN

Dr. Greg Scorzo, born and raised in LA, moved to the UK  to do a masters in Political Philosophy and a a PhD in Analytic Philosophy  – Meta-Ethics (University of Nottingham.)

He is now a dual British / American citizen.

Finding academia to be too restrictive, his life has been centred on promoting the ‘Art of Thinking’ using dialogues in many different forms, taking philosophical thinking into the public realm. His passion has always been using philosophical thinking to develop deep understanding of ourselves and greater humanity. With understanding comes empathy and with empathy comes peace. This does not mean avoiding humanities dark side. like all good philosophers he faces it full on.

From creating multi-media essays for the online platform CULTURE ON THE OFFENSIVE, to using dialogues in philosophical fiction, to writing and producing audio-plays to hosting podcasts, his innovative thinking is always breaking new ground outside of the academy.

However Greg Scorzo’s Art of Thinking>> process, has mostly been honed through over 70 talks and events>> he facilitated and designed that fostered empathetic, clear, and courageous philosophical dialogues.

His work emphasises empathy, clarity, and courage in exploring cultural, philosophical and social issues. Greg explores clashing perspectives and opinions in ways that cause reflection, which ultimately leads to deeper understanding of differing world views and to a convergence of ideas. This process is fundamental to Art of Thinking.

AI in many forms can amplify his mission to bridge divides. This opportunity, unimaginable earlier in his career, leverages AI’s speed and reach to spread his unique and transformational approach to conflict resolution worldwide. With AI, Greg’s ‘Art of Thinking’ process can easily scale globally, reaching diverse audiences way beyond physical venues.

Embracing Neurodiversity – Described as being one of the most interesting, original and unorthodox thinkers today, Greg navigates the world with incredible neurodiverse traits. AuDHD combines ADHD’s high-energy, quick-thinking creativity with autism’s deep focus and pattern recognition, enabling innovative problem-solving and the ability to connect seemingly unrelated ideas. Dyspraxia sharpens strategic thinking. These traits carry challenges in traditional work settings and in terms of many everyday tasks, due to sensory overload, co-ordination challenges and differences in social interaction.  Being able to take control and flourish on his own terms in his career, by making positive adjustments that he is in control of as a founder, has been life changing. Together, these traits foster out-of-the-box innovation, and a knack for predicting and building meaningful conceptual connections. This empowers Greg to approach challenges with bold creativity and unwavering determination
