Candice O'Denver

Candice O'Denver is an innovator in the practical application of philosophy as a way to benefit all. She invented Balanced View, a globally standardized education in the nature of the mind. Balanced View’s unique methodology applies algorithms to reach a consistent result of the beneficial empowerment of mind, body, speech, qualities, & activities.

When Candice O'Denver was 7, a Bermuda neighbor read her “Awareness Nakedly Seeing” from the Oxford University translation of “The Tibetan Book of the Dead." The clear perspective of mind as an inexhaustible open intelligence was newly invigorated in Candice upon hearing this benchmark text. It gave Candice courage to further explore her firmly held belief that everything is beneficial by nature. She felt a strong urgency to bring unity to the people of the world through a standardized system of bringing out the best in them.

Candice O'Denver's parents gave refuge to visitors & immigrants who were not allowed in Bermuda, giving her a rich background in international community & friendship.

Candice O'Denver studied in a Yale mathematics program for gifted children, & at 18, attended a UCLA international program for young philosophers where Candice focused on the pragmatic application of philosophy to be of immediate, permanent benefit. Bypassing undergraduate school, Candice completed graduate school, studying both critical theory & fine arts with various professors at California College of the Arts, UC Berkeley, & Stanford.

In childhood, Candice O’Denver was introduced to computer science & the use of original algorithms. Reducibility became her natural way of problem-solving. Candice O’Denver is interested in utilizing the philosophy and mathematics of comp-sci as the basis for a revolution in social science, particularly philosophy of mind, which has always been left to vague levels of abstraction with no result of permanent benefit. Advancing theories of information, organization, reducibility, & explanation, Candice O’Denver developed a comparative analysis, & then a comprehensive map of all known systems of education in the nature of mind & human nature.
