  • AI should be mothers to us. “Because the mother preserves the life of the baby. That’s the kind of relationship we should be aiming for,” says godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton – Financial Times (gift link)
  • How to find and master our own instruments of expression. Apollo and Hermes teach us that we have a radiance and curiosity that goes out in all directions. This is how to find the work we’re born to do at the celestial height it asks of us – The Career Archetypes 
  • Wonder, play, and how to be more alive. Wonder – that edge state on the rim of understanding, where the mind touches mystery – is our best means of loving the world more deeply – The Marginalian  
  • You’re probably doing small talk wrong. Stray from the script, riff playfully and create a shared reality; a little world that belongs just to just both of you – The New York Times (gift link)  
  • Society needs hope. Youths around the world are in a profound crisis of despair. Adults must help them to believe that the future will be better – Aeon  
  • Mapped: The boundaries of human perception. Science helps us imagine the vastness of space and time, and our small but meaningful place within it – Big Think
