the human condition

It’s a tragedy that life is taken so seriously. This is a result in the belief that we are limited, we are in danger, and that consciousness comes to an end.

If AI ever allows us to understand ourselves truly, it will not be because these algorithms captured the mechanical essence of the human mind. It will be because they liberated us to forget about optimization and to instead focus on what truly makes us human: loving and being loved.

“I want everything quiet and simple. For me: walking barefoot, sitting still, reading, listening to stories, and now and then telling some myself. Eating fruit, drinking milk, longing to create, but with patience and many insights.”


— Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to Lou Salomé witten c. March 1904

"The journey is to go from Somebody to Nobody."

Learn to laugh at the mental warfare you play with yourself. Before a long run, everything hurts. Before a big meeting, nothing is ready. Before a big launch, it's not the right time. This is the only fight that matters. Once you see it for what it is, you realize it's just a game. Then, you can finally start playing.
