The looming divide: one sees AI as liberation, another sees loss of authenticity, autonomy erosion, and reduction of humans to optimization targets. A synthesis of selective AI augmentation, democratic governance, and recognition that some domains should remain primarily human offers a third path.

I sailed past 60 a long time ago. If I could talk to a younger version of myself, the first words out of my mouth would be that I didn't have to be confined by the narratives we are fed about aging.
Remember all the struggles with mindfulness and being present? Start that earlier! It matters.

Laughed so hard at this that a Japanese woman on the shinkansen shushed me
Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.
