We can design neural networks and simulate galaxies, yet we still don’t fully understand a tree. Its intelligence is beyond any algorithm, turning light into life and giving more than it takes. When you marvel at its complexity, you see it clearly: all the world’s AI couldn’t even make a leaf.

Interesting read - thanks for sharing. The part about AI being used as an extension tool certainly deserves more public discussion!
Thank you for these kind words and motivation!
Our anxiety about technology has nothing to do with mechanical advancements or AI. It comes from the fact that, deep down, we know it is a system of control built on fear. And whatever is built in fear will fall. (2/2)
Anything built on fear eventually breaks of its own accord. Machiavelli died poor and alone. Hitler committed suicide. The Soviet Union fell from within. Still we repeat the pattern, building systems of control and mistaking them for progress. (1/2)
We’re teaching machines to imitate connection, but love isn't something that can be coded. Real love - that thing we all want - doesn’t need to lure or convince us, it simply is. If something has to imitate sexual intimacy to get our attention, maybe it isn’t power we’re witnessing, but desperation.
The problem isn’t that #AI might come alive. It’s that we’ve stopped living with awareness ourselves. Maybe we’re scared of how powerful we could be if we actually remembered who we are.
The more data we collect, the less we seem to know what to do with it. That’s because wisdom isn’t built from information, it’s born from attention.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." Marianne Williamson
It can generate coherence, even often get it right. But it cannot see the beauty of truth, for truth itself is an anomaly. (3/3)
Take ChatGPT. It builds language from repetition, weaving together the most common phrases of the internet. By design, it reflects what’s most repeated, not what’s most real. Machine learning, architecturally, can never know truth. (2/3)
Most people use the word AI when they really mean machine learning. But machine learning is a different technology. It doesn't seek accuracy, it seeks aggregation. It looks for patterns - the next word, the next click, the next prediction. (1/3)
Yet here we stand, building machines that promise to know everything. From #ChatGPT to Gemini, we still chase the illusion that knowledge can make us whole. We've quickly forgotten the myths reminding us that what makes us human is not what we know, but how we live with what we cannot. (3/3)
Through philosophy and science, the same lesson repeats.
Plato, Jung, Heisenberg - each reminding us that wisdom is not the absence of mystery, but its embrace. (2/3)
Since the beginning, our oldest stories have carried a warning: not all can be known. Eve reached for the fruit of knowledge and was cast from the garden, not for seeking truth, but for forgetting reverence. (1/3)
The most advanced machine in existence still can’t comprehend the process of forgiveness. You can code recognition, prediction, even imitation. But forgiveness is unpredictable transformation. It’s the moment the past stops defining the future.

No algorithm knows how to do that.

AI is not conscious. It is an aggregate of everything we’ve ever said, written, or built. When we fear it, we’re really fearing the mirror.

Fear of #AI is often fear of ourselves.
We’re building machines that can grasp, not hold. But what’s the point of a perfect hand, if not to hold another?
And when one hand reaches and holds another, that complexity grows beyond measure. Two living systems, infinitely adaptive, reading and responding in ways no machine can simulate. It's not code that fascinates us, it's connection.
Billions have been spent replicating the human hand. It has 34 muscles, 27 bones, thousands of nerves, and fascia we still can’t explain. And yet, even the most advanced robot hand can barely tie a shoelace.

There’s more mystery, and mastery, in your palm than in a trillion lines of code.

AI is the aggregate of our past. It reflects what we’ve been, not what we could be. That's why a peaceful world can't start in datasets, it can only start in our imagination.

Our ability to dream of a loving world, one that has yet to exist, is the most advanced intelligence we can access.
The real intelligence test isn’t whether a machine can think, it’s whether humanity can build without fear.
