About us
Tusk & Quill is a publication exploring what it means to 'live well' in America.
Our aim is to foster an ecosystem that cultivates ideas and drives action toward lasting, collective well-being.
We do this by curating thoughtful writing, artwork, podcast discussions, and events that are anchored in our thesis that, in order to 'live well', we must:
-
Deeply understand the various dimensions of America – its local histories, natural landscapes, institutions, and cultural trends, such that we develop a genuine connection to the land and the life that inhabits it
-
Engage in constructive discourse – developing and presenting well-reasoned arguments on how we think things ought to be, and debating those ideas in good faith
-
Promote high-agency community-orientedness – spotlighting initiatives and organizations that exemplify it, and appreciating the practical realities of putting creative solutions into action
-
Develop an intuition for holistic 'well-being' – sharing practices, theories and personal experiments to develop a sense of what it feels like to work towards a state of well-being, and what it takes to maintain it
We believe these four endeavors will enable us to 'live well', and they form the basis of the publication, our four segments: Culture, Discourse, Community, and Well-Being.

Competing Perspectives on AI and Employment: Collapse and Evolution
Chelsea Space, 545 8th Ave, New York, NY, USThe rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is introducing a new layer of uncertainty into one of the most basic parts of modern life: how we work, earn, and create value.
Some analysts warn of a coming “productivity shock”, where AI-driven efficiencies lead to widespread job displacement and cascading disruption across industries. Others point to a longer pattern of creative destruction, where technological change ultimately creates new kinds of work. Still others reference "the singularity" and claim AI is a fundamentally different kind of technology that doesn't obey historical patterns.In this session, we’ll explore these apparently competing perspectives on AI and economic disruption. Drawing on ideas from diverse fields, we’ll look at the assumptions behind each view before moving into a more open, structured conversation.
In group discussion, we’ll consider policy approaches and what these futures might mean for our own careers, communities, and sense of stability. If you’re interested in thinking more deeply about the future of work in the age of AI alongside thoughtful, curious New Yorkers, we’d love to have you join.
This session is hosted by Tusk & Quill, a publication and events platform exploring how we 'live well' in America today.2 attendees
