This article has done more to ground me in these incredibly uncertain times than anything I have seen since 2020. It is a potent reminder of what matters, a momento mori of sorts but far more practical.”

In an age of AI it’s never been more important to : “..ask yourself – when you’re facing a tough decision, say, or wondering if you’re on the right track – is: “Does this feel like it’s taking me in the direction of greater aliveness?””
