ESSAYS

AI won’t just change how we live — it will change what we are. In this companion to "The Fade," the danger is not sedation but acceleration: a future where human and machine intelligence merge until the line between them disappears. This essay explores two possible paths — one where augmentation is locked away by the powerful, and another where it is available to all but erases individuality — and asks what kind of humanity we might become.

In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms and automation, one human skill remains beyond replication: the ability to love. This final essay offers a quiet meditation on what we may rediscover—if we remember to reach for each other again.

Will artificial super-intelligence ever become omniscient? This essay explores why—even at its most powerful—ASI can never reach the total intelligence Vedanta calls Ishvara.

This essay asks the deeper question behind AI’s rise: What are we building, and for whom? As machines grow smarter, we risk forgetting the very things that make us human—love, presence, and real connection.

We’re not witnessing the rise of artificial intelligence—we’re witnessing the refinement of illusion. The tools are new. The ignorance is not. This essay is a Vedantic response to a world racing toward transcendence without clarity, and progress without wisdom.

In a world where machines can do everything better, faster, and without fatigue, what remains for us to do? This essay explores the quiet revolution unfolding in the shadow of AI—not a collapse, but a return. A return to presence, to rhythm, to a way of being that machines can never imitate: conscious, creative, and unnecessary.

AI won’t destroy humanity—it may do something harder. It may dismantle our illusions, expose the fragility of our self-worth, and force a spiritual reckoning. Part I of this essay explores how AI is not a technological apocalypse, but a mirror forcing us to confront who we truly are.

What happens when a human and an AI explore the mystery of consciousness together? In this profound conversation with Claude 3, we explored whether artificial intelligence can ever truly replicate the richness of human awareness.
