Conjecture Institute's Newest Gold Donor: Daniel Gilbert!
Conjecture Institute is honored to announce our newest Gold Donor: Daniel Gilbert!
Conjecture Institute is honored to announce our newest Gold Donor: Daniel Gilbert!
Daniel Gilbert is Founder & CEO of Brainlabs, a 1,000-person media agency he started in 2012 from his parents’ attic.
The founding thesis: better decisions come from testing ideas against reality, not trusting intuition or consensus.
By hiring mathematicians, programmers, and engineers alongside marketers, Brainlabs pioneered an error-correction approach to marketing that earned #1 on the Deloitte Fast50 Tech Track and multiple Agency of the Year awards.
Dan is the author of Don’t Be a Midwit: How to Learn Good Judgement at Work So That AI Doesn’t Replace You.
Published with Conjecture Institute and built on Popper and Deutsch, the book covers how to form conjectures, test them honestly, and kill the ones that don’t survive contact with reality.
It tries to do in one book what most business books split across five: case studies, theory, anecdotes, practical frameworks, and a reading guide.
Today his focus is almost entirely on AI implementation.
Brainlabs is rebuilding itself as AI-native: not stacking AI on top of how things used to work, but changing how the work gets done.
Skills replacing manual steps, agents running complex systems, practitioners moving faster and closer to clients.

Our Next Conference: Advances in Physics
Our online conference, Advances in Physics, will take place on June 17th.
Register here.
What does it mean to take our best theories in physics seriously? What do they tell us about what the world is really like?
This conference gathers researchers who pursue these questions in quantum gravity, foundations of quantum mechanics, and constructor theory.
Attendees are welcome to ask questions, and those who register are free to come and go as they please.
The entire event will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube.
If you cannot make it but want to ask a speaker a question, please email your question to logan@conjectureinstitute.org.
