Hello stranger.
It’s a wild world. Did you have time to catch up?
I’m also overwhelmed at times.
Here are the most impactful words, videos, speeches, peoples I’ve ever come across.
First, let’s read this recent report. This is how AI can be used.
Perplexity
Former Palantir workers condemn company’s work with Trump administration
“Coordinated space and cyber operations effectively disrupted communications and sensor networks across the area of responsibility, leaving the adversary without the ability to see, coordinate, or respond”
That’s how powerful AI is.
But don’t despair. Let’s try to see it differently. After a bit more information. It’ll be more positive right after I promise.
This technology, this tool, is powerful, yes - so is whatever device you’re reading this from. And everything behind it to make it work.
It’s all a matter of what you use it for.
To unite, or to divide? It’s the only question.
Reminds me of this beautiful video that gives a new way of seeing the world:
And here is my favorite speech of all time:
The speech still is relevant today. It’s time to go to the moon again. Not because we have to, but because we can.
I don’t believe in existential crises anymore. I believe it’s just an itch to do something.
I’m a hacker, I can understand and use this tool. I can teach you, so you have autonomy in today’s world. But that’s not all.
The only thing we need… is to talk about it.
Humanity’s will has been eroded by time. We forgot to dream.
What do you want the moon to be?
Maybe we can’t reach it. But let’s not wait for others to do something. What kind of world do you want?
We’re not all going to have the same answer for that, but I’m sure we all want to prosper and be happy? Are we, now? Then let’s do something and stop despairing about it.
Yes you can do it. If you ever doubt in your humanity, read this:

What should you do? Well you don’t have to do anything, yet you get to do everything, here’s a video on that:
You already know what to do
Take good care of yourself.
Take good care of others.
Do what brings meaning.
Join or make communities.
Learn what you don’t know… We have free access to an oracle that is connected to all of human knowledge… Use it wisely.
And use the wisdom of the past.
Don’t fear death. Fear a worthless life
Let us learn from the stoics a bit more in fact
But don’t disconnect from yourself either. I love Allan Watts for that:
You’re probably not going to see what I mean yet.
That’s alright.
Let it be a seed.
We’re all on this boat together.
What inspired you in your life? I’d love to know.
What do you think about digital minimalism?
