## Resource

Greg Twemlow’s text explores the Career Polycrisis, a phenomenon where artificial intelligence and corporate automation have dismantled the traditional entry-level pathways for university graduates. This rupture has destroyed the historical rite of passage into adulthood, leaving young people in a state of psychological and professional limbo. Twemlow argues that we must shift our focus from industrial "careers" to a Life Arc built on character and human formation. To combat this crisis, he proposes the Transition Team framework, which encourages universities to guide students through collaborative, real-world business challenges. By applying the Context & Critique Rule, graduates can reclaim their agency and transform AI from a threat into a tool for self-directed growth. Read the article. About the Author - Greg Twemlow writes and teaches at the intersection of technology, education, and human judgment. He works with educators and businesses to make AI explainable and assessable in classrooms and boardrooms — to ensure AI users show their process and own their decisions. His cognition protocol, the Context & Critique Rule™, is built on a three-step process: Evidence → Cognition → Discernment — a bridge from what’s scattered to what’s chosen. Context & Critique → Accountable AI™. © 2025 Greg Twemlow. “Context & Critique → Accountable AI” and “Context & Critique Rule” are unregistered trademarks (™).
