Preparing Minds for the Age of Intelligence
For thousands of years, the human mind has evolved through natural pressures. Today, with the arrival of artificial intelligence, a dangerous new pressure has emerged. The challenge is clear: either we train ourselves to remain autonomous and self-directing, or we risk surrendering not only our perception but our very will.

The Institute for Metacognitive Education (IMCE) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting metacognitive practices, processes, and tools, to strengthen and enhance mental balance, resilience, and clarity of mind.
Three years ago, in response to the anxiety epidemic, we began designing an innovative toolbox for the mind. Its purpose was simple: to provide a mechanism for people to untangle themselves from the unnecessary suffering caused by errant or unfocused thinking, and to help find effective ways to resist the manipulative, often predatory cultural forces that infiltrate our attention
Much has changed in those three years. The same technologies that hijacked our attention are rapidly evolving into intelligent systems capable of influencing the human mind in ways we are only just beginning to understand.
We believe the most vital survival skill of the coming era is metacognition: the ability to notice the movements of the mind, question perception, and act from clarity rather than influence. These are not abstract ideals but practical human capacities that can be taught, learned, and lived.
IMCE exists to build a framework of education, practice, and cultural exchange that help restore the sovereignty of mind, and try to safeguard the depths of human experience.
