Reclaiming Slowness and Silence

Before the rise of intelligent machines, life had a natural rhythm — slow enough for thought to mature, quiet enough for meaning to surface. We once lived at the pace of breath, conversation, and reflection. Now, the tempo has changed. Our minds beat to the pulse of notifications, our attention fragmented by algorithms that never … Read more

AI with Children: Digital Wisdom for the Next Generation

A child speaks to an AI assistant with effortless ease, as if it were no different from a light switch or a tap. There’s no hesitation, no awe, no sense of “otherness” — just a seamless familiarity.

The Age of the Short: What We Gain—and Lose—When Everything Must Fit in a Minute

You open TikTok to check one thing. Twenty minutes later, you’ve watched eighty videos and remember none of them. Not because they were bad— but because they were designed not to be remembered. Just consumed. Shorts aren’t just the future of media; they may soon become the only format that matters. And that raises a … Read more

AI Isn’t Making Us Lazy — Our Surrender To It Is

Artificial intelligence has quietly rewritten the rules of learning. Once a tool for coders and researchers, it now sits on every student’s desk, every professional’s phone, ready to summarize, explain, and “save time.” But the question has changed: When does AI stop being a learning partner — and start becoming a crutch?

Why OpenAI Fired a High Performer — And What I Learned About Leadership Culture

A few days ago, I came across a tweet by a former OpenAI employee who admitted to being fired — not because of incompetence, but for being “difficult to work with.” He had previously been a founder for 8 years, held equity, and was raising a 7-month-old baby at the time. And yet, OpenAI let … Read more

The Minimal Safe Companion Model

Not all AI systems are created equal. Some quietly support your growth, strengthen your discernment, and invite you back to presence. Others, with sleek interfaces and seductive fluency, draw you further away from your own center. They nudge you toward dependency, erode your privacy, and gradually replace your judgment with predictions. And yet, we rarely … Read more

Twelve Weeks of Returning: A Mindfulness Practice for the Digital Age

Real change begins with what you choose to notice. You can understand everything in this book. You can highlight every paragraph, nod at every insight, even feel momentarily transformed. And still—six months later—you might find yourself caught in the same patterns, scrolling in the same loops, prompting the same questions, living ever more efficiently, yet … Read more

Emergency Protocols: When You Lose Yourself Online

There’s still a way back. And it begins right now. It starts innocently. You check a notification, open a tab, glance at a message. The next thing you know, an hour has passed. Or two. Or more. You emerge from a haze, mind buzzing with half-digested fragments, body tense and strangely dislocated, unsure how you … Read more

Conscious Co-Creation

  When AI joins the journey, can you still hear your own voice? There’s a particular magic that happens when two musicians improvise together. One plays a phrase, the other responds—not by echoing it, but by offering something that complements, contrasts, or extends it. They listen, adapt, take risks, and allow space for something neither … Read more
