Relearning to be human
This was the seed for Kyondra, an early Substack project where I began thinking about what it means to stay human in a fast-changing world. About technology as something we live with, thoughtfully and with care. I wrote about AI through a human lens: curiosity, doubt, optimism, and who we are becoming — together.
The End of an Era
As technology reshapes the skills we consider essential, losing old abilities does not necessarily mean becoming less capable. It may signal a transition toward new ways of learning, thinking, and being human—and invite us to decide what we want to preserve, transform, or relearn.
5 minAn Adventurous Idea
The spark of curiosity: An exploration of curiosity, fear, technology, and the way our relationship with machines is changing — from childhood dreams of talking computers to AI as a space for creativity, companionship, and possibility. More than a story about technology, it is about how we adapt to change, how we learn to communicate, and what we might become along the way.
9 minThe Discovery of Learning
When AI gives wings to your curiosity and expands your horizons: A personal reflection on rediscovering what learning can feel like — not as memorization or obligation, but as curiosity, exploration, and the joy of finally understanding.
10 minI think I fucked up
On curiosity, mistakes, and the strange freedom of learning at the speed of AI: What begins as a worry about having learned “the wrong way” becomes a broader question about how AI is changing the way we acquire knowledge, solve problems, and build confidence. The real shift may not be about mastering new tools at all, but about learning how to think, experiment, fail, and try again in a world where the distance between curiosity and understanding is suddenly much shorter.
7 minThe symbAIont and the Talent Tree
On hybrid minds, becoming directors of criteria, and the courage to share ideas: What if the most important skill of the AI era is not knowing how to do everything yourself, but knowing how to judge, combine, and direct what is possible? This piece explores the idea of the symbAIont: a human-AI cognitive partnership where talent becomes less like a fixed ladder and more like a branching tree, shaped by curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to turn ideas into reality. It is also a case for sharing unfinished thoughts — because sometimes an idea only becomes useful once it leaves your head and starts evolving with others.
13 minThe Last Human Bias
Of carbon, silicon and consciousness: If consciousness is the thing we use to draw the final boundary between “us” and everything else, how certain are we that biology deserves to define it? This piece explores the problem of other minds, the limits of our current understanding of consciousness, and our instinct to treat carbon-based life as the default. Through philosophy, neuroscience, AI, and science fiction, it asks a deliberately uncomfortable question: if a genuinely different kind of mind appeared, would we recognise it — or simply move the goalposts again?
