"Sooner or later, we are all superheroes.
Superman wears a costume. As we all do.
He isn’t great at time management, always focused on the urgency at hand instead of investing in long-term planning.
He rarely works to change the foundational system he’s part of.
Supervillians exist in opposition to him and his work. Without him, they have no purpose.
He has a closely-guarded secret identity he doesn’t want the world to see.
Reputation, trust and good work are at the heart of his brand.
He misses home. In fact, his uniform is made from his baby blanket.
When technology evolves, he gains new powers.
In the official narrative, the Bechdel test is rarely passed. We can tell better stories than that.
His best exploits involve thoughtful strategy. The punching is boring.
When it counts, he shows up with bravery.
His most important relationships are based on mutual trust.
It turns out that bending steel with his bare hands is a distraction from the real point."

Even at a distance, we can sometimes tell if someone is educated, rich, powerful or physically attractive.
But that doesn’t always correlate with smart, kind or honest.
Strong signals might not be the same as useful ones.

We must become undisciplined. The work we do requires new modes and methods of research and teaching; new ways of entering and leaving the archives of slavery. Christina Sharpe, In The Wake Over the past year, two intersecting crises have laid bare a hard truth: the Internet doesn’t always remember.

"I’ll be using the term ‘futurist’ and ‘futurism’ to describe the practice of futurology, futures study, and foresight strategy. Mainly because the former have become colloquial terms and are more widely recognised and accepted than their more formal cousins. This piece has nothing to do with Italian art movements.)"

"I’ve seen a few stories recently about how people (often men) are sort of disappearing into AI blackholes. Whether it’s being convinced you are a spiritual leader, hunted by the CIA, unhealthy sexual fantasies, or generally reinforcing self-beliefs it’s hard to see how this is going to stop.As humans we’re programmed to anthropomorphise, we see Jesus’s face in toast for goodness sake, so even when you know it’s not real, it’s pretty hard to resist the emotional response that this AI tool genuinely knows you and is talking to you."

"(...)
Our chosen reality serves two useful purposes:
First, it binds us to the others in our circle. If you seek to communicate, speaking Esperanto in Nashville isn’t going to help very much–you do better assuming, as others do, that English is standard. On the other hand, going to a Flat Earth convention and insisting on the truth of our planet’s shape won’t earn you the sort of camaraderie you were hoping for. (...)

AI’s Origins in a Culture of Hypercompetition and Radical Individualism
How We Got Here (And Why It Matters)
This didn't happen overnight. The roots trace back to decisions that seemed reasonable at the time:
Grade inflation made GPAs meaningless, so colleges relied more heavily on extracurriculars and essays—which are easier to game with AI.
Online applications made it trivially easy to apply everywhere, flooding every opportunity with applicants and forcing institutions to use algorithmic screening.
Rankings and metrics pushed schools and companies to optimize for selectivity rather than fit, creating perverse incentives to reject as many people as possible.
Economic anxiety convinced parents that only elite credentials could guarantee security, intensifying competition for a fixed number of spots.
Each decision made sense in isolation. Together, they created a system where being genuinely human—uncertain, still-growing, authentically flawed—became a competitive disadvantage. "
