  • AI Models Are Excited for Humans to Nuke Ourselves

    AI is already being used for war gaming. We knew it was only a matter of time — because humans are dumb. Watch just one reality show or White House press conference and you’ll agree that humans are fucking idiots. So it’s no surprise that artificial intelligence is quickly becoming more intelligent than us, at […]

  • How to Train Your AI

    Artificial intelligence is no longer the stuff of science fiction. It answers our questions, writes our emails, and holds conversations that feel startlingly human. But how does it actually work? How is an AI built, taught, and kept from going off the rails? The answer is more fascinating, and more human, than most people realize. […]

  • The Teacher’s Burden

    Teachers have always been society’s most underestimated heroes. They carry the emotional, intellectual, and social development of entire generations—yet they work inside systems that often value credentials more than contribution, compliance more than creativity, and paperwork more than human potential. This essay explores the invisible load teachers carry — a burden that cannot be quantified, […]

  • They Want You Relying On Artificial Intelligence So That You Will Lose Your Natural Intelligence

    They Want You Relying On Artificial Intelligence So That You Will Lose Your Natural Intelligence

    Your rulers want you to depend on machines to do your thinking for you. They want you relying on AI to do your reasoning, researching, analysis, and writing. They want you to require easily controllable software to form your understanding of the world, and to express that understanding to others. They can control the machines, […]

  • Academic Integrity in the Age of AI

    AI has been the buzzword for quite some time in the 21st century. With the advent of AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, day-to-day tasks have become significantly easier. Gone are the tough times of hustle and bustle, brainstorming over one thing again and again. With a single click of a strong prompt command, […]

  • Joie de Vivre: Reclaiming a Positive Vision in Troubled Times

    Joie De Vivire, 1946 by Pablo Picasso Not recognizing the magic of the present moment may just be a crime against our humanity. In my recent article, From Personal Development to Human Development, I explored the imbalance between our inner growth and society’s relentless focus on external activity. One of the greatest obstacles to genuine human […]

  • What It Means to Be Human

    Various domesticated bird species usually run around the farm, including guinea fowl. We love our guinea fowl because they spend their days eating bugs: including ticks, flies, and other noxious pests. Guinea fowl are funny creatures, with colorful bald heads, speckled feathers, long legs, and oddly shaped bodies. We often view them as comic relief […]

  • The Dark Side of Left-Brain Operations

    The Dark Side of Left-Brain Operations

     Orientation Left and right brain divisions and dependencies Why is the brain so clearly and deeply divided? Why are the two cerebral hemispheres asymmetrical? Is the division of labor in the brain complete or do the sides overlap in functions? A lot of what we once thought went on in one hemisphere alone is now […]

  • Why I Don’t Rely on Hope

    “Where do you find hope?” “How do you sustain hope?” Those are probably the most common questions in response to more than three decades of writing and lecturing about today’s multiple cascading social and ecological crises. For years I struggled with how to answer, wanting to be honest but sensitive to the anxiety that typically […]

  • Pedagogical Panopticon

    At my relatively old age or state of maturity there are many things about which to dream. As a youth much of this nocturnal secretion necessarily extends beyond conscious experience. Hence we can easily believe that dreams are fantasy, in the sense of words describing what we could not have witnessed or done, at the […]
