Our 2YO son was eating very selectively, and we worried he's eating too little. I thought about it. And I realized we place too much importance on him eating by encouraging him to eat. I said to my wife: you know what, we remove this importance totally. We don't tell him, ask him, encourage him to eat anymore. If he wants to eat, he can eat. If not, then not. Guess what happened? He's now eating satisfactorily. But not according to our schedule or exactly what we cook. According to his schedule. I also started asking him in the supermarket what he'd like to eat this evening. Then he points at particular things: broccoli at one day, chicken filet at another day, pickled cucumbers, etc. And guess what? He absolutely is eating what he picked earlier. Very instinctively to what nutrients his body wants. Maybe this helps other young parents. Stop putting importance on it.

Biological age calculations are the biggest modern day psyop. The only signal you need is when you're talking to people and mentioning your age, they reply "Wow, I thought you were much younger" Everything else is noise.

Good Morning. Breathing the fresh early morning air after a rainy night is pure bliss from God.

Marathon running is socially encouraged orthopedic self-harm disguised as virtue. 42 km of joint erosion, cardiac overreach, and dopamine-chasing disguised as discipline. Before you commit to run a marathon, take a moment and pause. Ask yourself: Why is running a marathon my goal? Odds are, you’re either unconsciously copying someone else’s coping mechanism or seeking social reward and Instagram likes through performative suffering – and calling it “fitness”. That’s not discipline. That’s mimesis. Read Girard. You’re not chasing health but someone else’s pain prescription, hoping it will fix your own. And if you really need to suffer publicly to feel alive, maybe it’s not your body that needs training, but your fear of sitting still without applause. If the idea of running a marathon truly comes from your heart, then you’d run 42 km on a Tuesday at dawn with no witness. If you need a start line, a medal, a round of applause, and pictures for social media, then you are suffering through a socially accepted identity crisis. Let’s get physiological. Marathons attack your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, suppress your immune system, and can induce irreversible joint damage – knees, hips, ankles, worn one kilometer at a time. Cardiac scarring is a real risk. Cortisol floods. Lymphocyte counts crash. This really isn’t health but a ritualized system failure. Discipline is not a spectacle. Movement is not masochism. Read Body by Science (Doug McGuff & John Little). Explore movement systems like Ido Portal’s (or try Kung Fu). Train for capacity, not applause. Stop running from the void. It keeps up.

Whether current AI systems qualify as AGI is beside the point. Five years ago, if you had asked me to define AGI, my answer would’ve closely described what GPT o3 or Gemini 2.5 Pro are now. So if this is AGI, then where are the breakthroughs? Valid question. The answer: we are the bottleneck. The limitation is no longer the model. The real limitation is that we haven’t really figured out how to use LLMs properly. Even if AI development froze today, and all we have available are o3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro level LLMs, then we would still see a decade of profound disruptions and innovations across entire industries. Most users treat AI like Google, a friend, a mentor, or a novelty. Few understand prompting. Those who do don’t even scratch the surface of what is possible when you give AI the right prompt, the relevant context, and access to specific or perhaps proprietary data. Worse, we are not augmenting human intelligence, we are outsourcing it. TikTokified workflows, mindless automation, and prompt-template copy-paste culture are commoditizing subpar outcomes. Instead of expanding our minds, we’re paralyzing them. The real potential lies hidden in tandem cognition. Reimagining how we work with AI systems in a way that ensures our uniquely human traits (intuition, creativity, vision, …) aren’t ignored, but amplified. Without this shift, outputs will commoditize (across humans and organizations). We urgently need two things: first a methodology for extracting maximum value from LLMs and second a philosophy for not replacing our human genius, but empowering it. The future is not AI versus human. It is human with AI, at full capacity. Currently, the focus is on maximum capacity for AI compute. Now it’s time we focus on maximum capacity for human genius.
