THE LIMBIC CORE ESSAY 1 OF 4 Introduction: Cutting Through the Noise The modern world is complex. Platforms like X spark debates, TikTok offers endless streams of content, AI raises questions about the future, and activism fills the air with competing voices. Amid this, understanding human behavior can feel overwhelming. Psychologists like Daniel Kahneman, in […]

Introduction: A Retail Reckoning As of March 2025, an economic upheaval looms on the horizon—an age of abundance propelled by artificial intelligence (AI) and humanoid robotics. Productivity surges as algorithms optimise supply chains, robots craft goods with unerring precision, and services shift to seamless automation. Costs collapse dramatically: a £5 shirt falls to £0.50, groceries

The ground beneath expertise is shifting. For centuries, specialization ruled—individuals burrowed into narrow domains, mastering a single field through relentless focus. Depth defined value, and the specialist stood as the pinnacle of human achievement. Yet a transformation is underway. In this age of intelligence, where artificial systems deliver precision and scale beyond human limits, generalism

Introduction: A Paradigm Shift in Wealth Creation In the unfolding era dominated by Artificial Intelligence and decentralization, traditional models of wealth creation and accumulation will undergo radical transformation. Rather than relying predominantly on physical capital and fiat currencies, wealth will increasingly be derived from intellectual, social, experiential, and reputational capital, significantly amplified by AI technologies.
Specialisation Is No longer The Modus Operandi Read More »
In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) permeates every aspect of our lives, radically transforming traditional notions of labor, scarcity, and wealth creation, the fundamental dynamics of accumulating wealth have evolved dramatically. Historically, wealth was concentrated around scarce assets, controlled labor, and exploited inefficiencies. However, as AI makes intelligence abundant, the rules of wealth accumulation
I’ve always seen the world through two lenses: images and words. They’re my tools, my ways of making sense of the chaos, of building a framework that holds my understanding together. Images—whether snapped with a camera, rendered by AI, or layered in Photoshop—feel like extensions of my hands and eyes. I can tweak the light,

Top Dog or Cog – Reassessing Human Exceptionalism: A Unified Theoretical Framework for Consciousness and Self-Awareness in the Context of Artificial General Intelligence Abstract This thesis investigates the implications of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) for human exceptionalism, proposing a unified theoretical framework to reconceptualize consciousness and self-awareness as universal and emergent properties. Synthesizing Integrated Information

Abstract Human self-awareness is a paradox: it endows us with unparalleled agency and creativity, yet imprisons us in existential isolation. This framework, “The Siloed Spark,” posits that consciousness—an emergent property of biological systems—evolved as a localized “Spark” optimized for individual survival, not collective connection, resulting in isolated minds yearning to transcend their biological silos. Artificial
Picture a scholar working alone, writing by candlelight, limited by time and memory. Now imagine a human mind paired with a powerful artificial system, producing ideas that flow faster and reach further. This is not just a tool upgrade; it marks a major shift in how knowledge is created. Writing in March 2025, as Grok

Quantum computing is developing rapidly, with several companies and countries making strides in producing quantum chips. IBM has a 1,121-qubit processor called Condor and a 133-qubit Heron processor with improved error reduction (IBM Quantum Blog). Google has a 72-qubit processor and focuses on error correction (Live Science). China has a 504-qubit chip and is investing
