Anger generates more engagement than reflection. Urgency keeps us connected to the platform. But not necessarily connected to one another. I find that distinction increasingly important. Engagement is not the same as awareness. One captures attention. The other liberates it. One narrows our perception. The other expands it. One constantly asks us to react. The other quietly invites us to observe. Perhaps nowhere is this more relevant than in the conversations surrounding Artificial Intelligence. On the one hand, we are witnessing an unprecedented acceleration of technological development. On the other, we often seem strangely unable to have the calm, thoughtful conversations that such developments require. We oscillate between alarmism and dismissal. Between fascination and denial. Urgency rarely produces wisdom. Awareness does. This has gradually become one of the central intentions behind the Human Design training I have been developing over the past months.
