Gonna use this perspective when people ask, “but what will we do if AI takes over our jobs?”

“…feed each of one’s physical, mental, emotional systems.

Physical operating system: A long walk or exercise.

Mental operating system: Learn or read or watch or do.

Emotional operating system:  Connecting with friends and family. Helping others.”

TY Rishad for giving us words to understand.

Love the emphasis on “honing” our selves. Will be contemplating more of that!

Not being different for the sake of it… but being creators, “builders creating things that transformed and positively impacted the world of science, art, business and technology.”

Thank you for another inspiring article. While humans have survived by forming strong tribes, communities and nations, individuals remain responsible for choosing their values, goals and actions. It's important yet challenging to find the right balance between conforming to a collective culture while staying committed to one's own principles. As Friedrich Nietzsche said "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

This is a powerful message, Rishad. I heard an expression once: "What other people say about you is none of your business." That stuck with me It's implying, not that we don't want to be gossiped about, but that it's a poison you're better off putting out of your mind and being true to your best self.

And I fully agree that a long walk can be a great reset to focus on identifying that best true self.

Thanks for this one!

Thank you Sir for this insightful article.

My takeaway is “Today we are increasingly in a world of builders, makers, creators, inventors and in sculpting something special out of raw materials is a way to find flow and make and leave one’s mark.”

We should have a mission individually and / or collectively to create / make something special in ourselves that will add value to the community / society or individual lives for positive impact.

Rishad- This essay along with the Midjourney visuals are really quite affecting and beautiful. I never thought we’d get to the day when we’re talking about AI to this degree, so this is all very interesting.
